Also, try freezing it. It should harden enough to allow you to get it off in chunks.

Don't make a bigger mess... use a couple of ice cubes and rub them on the gum until hard and just chip it away with your finger nail. If you don't have Goo Gone, use a little sm0oth peanut butter then follow-up with a little soap and water, viola... it's gone!

They used to have this freeze stuff in a can. I remember my mom using it to get gum out of my sister's hair back in the 1960's. It just turned it all brittle and it cracked out.

take your shoe off and lick it off..........no sense in wasting a perfectly good piece of gum. Besides you could always help a broken down ricer on the side of the road with it

Goo gone seriously
