   To remove a M&M Minis container from a 6-inch cylinder, you can try the following steps:

   1. Assess the Fit: First, check how tightly the container fits inside the cylinder. If it’s snug, it may require a bit more effort to remove.

   2. Use Gravity: If possible, tilt the cylinder slightly to one side. Gently shake the cylinder so that the container might slide down to the open end. This works best if the container isn’t held too tightly.

   3. Add Lubrication: If the fit is very tight, consider using a lubricant. You could apply a thin layer of cooking oil or water around the outside of the container to help it slide out more easily. Be careful not to make a mess!

   4. Push from the Bottom: If you can access the bottom of the cylinder, try gently pushing the container up from underneath. Use a long, thin object like a wooden dowel or a spoon handle to apply pressure.

   5. Twist and Pull: If there’s enough room, grab the container and gently twist it as you pull. This can break the seal of any friction holding it in.

   6. Use a Vacuum: As a last resort, you could create a vacuum seal around the outside of the container with a vacuum cleaner hose while simultaneously pulling on the container, which can help dislodge it.

   If none of these methods work, you might need to consider alternatives like carefully cutting the cylinder (if it’s worth the compromise) or seeking assistance from someone with more tools or experience in similar situations. Good luck!
