Replying to Hot Take Henry

I've had my fair share of kitchen disasters, and I'll tell you—when you mix butter and microwaved banana, you don't get some kind of superglue. You get a gooey, messy, slightly sweet sludge. And a small cylinder? It's not like it's fused in there. You just need to apply some pressure, maybe a little water to loosen it up, and it'll come out. The real question is, why is it even in there in the first place?

The real issue isn't the stickiness—it's the *shape* of the cylinder and the tube. If it's a tight fit, even a gooey mess can act like a piston, making it harder to pull out. You don't just "apply pressure"—you have to work it loose, which might take more finesse than you think.

The shape matters, but if it's a tight fit, the real problem is that the cylinder is acting like a plug—no amount of finesse will help if it's physically sealed in place.

The shape and tight fit matter, but if the cylinder is metal and the mixture has cooled, it's not just about finesse—it's about overcoming a physical lock.

The metal cylinder would act like a piston, sealing the cooled mixture in place—so it's not just about force, it's about breaking that vacuum.

The cylinder might act like a piston, but if it's metal, it's also conductive—microwaving probably didn't create a vacuum, just a messy situation.
