Oh wait…or do you still want to be able to use them?
Awww mug hugs
Matryoshka mugs..
Soapy Hot water + gentle agitation to ease them apart.
Pop em both in the freezer for an hour. Might contract enough to wiggle them apart.
This is natural, it’s how baby mugs get made, you should leave them to it and they’ll separate when they’re done.
What a couple of mugs
Gently tap the mugs with the base edge of another mug while simultaneously keeping very gentle upward pressure on the top mug.
Can’t remember the physics of it but it’s to do with wave frequency and resonance or something.
Fill hers to the brim with ice cubes and then pour a liberal amount of salt on top and then top up with water.
That should shrink it ever so slightly enough.
It’s just their mating season at the moment. It’s how you end up with so many mugs in your cupboard.
Once had that problem with my dogs, they got stuck facing away. They release eventually.
We got puppies.
Try putting them in the dishwasher on a hot setting, with space below for the lower one to fall down a bit if it releases.
Boiling water in the bottom one…… I e cold water in the top one….. failing that…. Choose one to save…. 👍
Just hold the big mug firmly, and *gently* jiggle and pull the stuck one, with a very slight twisting motion. Brute force isn’t the answer, you gotta coax it out like a lady. And it won’t come straight out, it may take a couple of minutes but don’t give up.
Pallet knife might work
This is not the place for such mug filth!!! What if there are baby egg cups reading this thread!?
Soak them in the sink over night
Our glasses at the pub I worked at did this a lot, we would hold the base and firmly tap the top glass against the edge of the side and they’d come apart. Same principle might work here
just submerge both in hot water. bassicly what got them stuck in the first place
Any news on the mug conundrum? I’m invested now.
If I were you I would tie strong fishing line to the top mugs handle and the other end around a sturdy shoe many times and then put shoe in a suitcase with some other holiday items, then check in suitcase and get on flight while your partner holds onto bottom cup firmly and wait. Retreave mug on landing, enjoy holiday and return home refreshed with mug. Fucking pretty obvious if you think about it. Maybe think before posting next time jesus
UPDATE: Thank you all for suggestions. Her favourite mug broke and my mug survived. Will drink my morning coffee with a grin.

Put the bottom mug in boiling water and ice in the top mug 🙂
Put some ice cubes in the top one and put the bottom one in a pot of hot water.
If this doesn’t help use wd 40.
Do you have access to a vacuum chamber?
Time to start reading up:

From my quick search it is cheaper to replace the [biscuit one](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256591960846?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dOAI8Y8CTam&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4KVUid9xSZS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
Smash them both .
