  Bowl-eo and Bowl-iet by Bowl-iam Bowl-spear

  Seriously though, wow. The vacuum between the bowls must be strong, or the friction.

  I’m sure you have already, but maybe rubber gloves might help? Like to pull them apart? I don’t know sorry, that sucks!

  Put them on the bench with a towel underneath and put a bag of frozen peas (still in the bag) in the top bowl, wait until the top bowl is cold on the outside, then turn them on the side and give them a firm but gentle tap on top of the towel.

  Submerge the lot totally and hope a tiny air bubble will rise and break the seal from the inside.

    This was the trick. Total immersion in hot as hell water and a knife inserted into the crack/gently levered to break the vacuum seal

  Can you twist them apart?

  You may have to sacrifice one to save the other. Put a groove in the bottom edge of the lower one with a nail file, then tap FIRMLY on the bench to shatter it. If you are holding the top one, it should be unharmed. A teatowel on the bench may help corral the shards for disposal. Rubber gloves as per StudSpud’s comment are a very good idea.

  Squirt an air compressor in the gap? Got a mechanic nearby?

  Glue a piece of wood to each bowl, let it set, pull them apart.

  Make a loop of string and try and feed / saw it into the gap,

  Sacrifice one bowl.

  Fill your sink with hot water, put the bowls in, put ice cubes in the top bowl.

  Put a little fuel in there and light it on fire somewhere safe.

  Personal massage device to vibrate them apart.

  Good luck.

    Staff at personal devices shop: Welcome! How can I help you?
    AJ: I’d like a massage device that vibrates.
    Staff: Any preference for size and shape?
    AJ: Something gentle. It’s for my bowls who love each other too much.

  Lots of toothpicks and a little tiny hammer?

    I don’t know why, but I vibe with this solution

  Twist, don’t pull. Like opening a jar.
