Don't Get Stuck With Gum On Your Face

So, you were blowing a bodacious bubble and it bursts on your face – no problemo. Just take the remaining wad of gum and dab it against the strands on your face; it should stick to itself. Pop it back into your mouth and chew – GROSS!

Hair Scare

Getting bubblegum stuck in your hair can blow a perfectly good hair day. But, there is a way to get it out. Peanut Butter. Yup! The oils in peanut butter have been known to soften the gum so that you can loosen the gum and pull it out with your fingers or comb. Mayo and plain old butter work too. If all else fails, you'll have to resort to the old scissors trick and cut it out.

Shoe Stopper

Plan A

Pull out the old ice cube trick! Just rub the gum on the bottom of your shoe with an ice cube – no joke! The ice should harden the gum enough so that you can chip away/scrape or pull it off.

Plan B

Try rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball but only if the gum is stuck on the sole of your shoe. The rubbing alcohol may damage the fabric or leather part.

Sticky Situations

It happens – you get gum stuck in the weirdest places – like your mom's couch, on the sleeve of your coolest shirt… whatever. So now you're wondering how to get it out.

Easy.

Pull out the old ice cube trick. It really works. Rub the ice cube on the gum until it becomes hard. Then, chip away at it. You can also put the item (obviously not the couch) in the freezer to harden the gum. Keep it in there for 15 minutes, then, chip away.
