Can a sewer line back up if you remove the toilet?
Removing your toilet will not help if the blockage is further down. Sewer lines can and do back up, even without bottles in them.

What’s the best way to clean an object that fell in the toilet?
Wash your hands thoroughly. Before deep-cleaning the object, take a few minutes to wash your hands with soap and warm water. After all, they’ve just been inside the potty. If you were lucky enough to have latex gloves or dish gloves nearby, peel them off and throw them in the garbage before washing up.
What should I do if my toilet is clogged with toys?
If the obstruction is not released by the plunger method, your next step will be to maneuver an auger into the drain hole and begin twisting it. You can often remove toys and other hard items with this method when plunging doesn’t work as long as the snake can grip the item. If the auger method does not solve the problem, try a chemical de-clogger.
