I truly love gum, can't get enough of it!
I just telling my husband about all the "Extra" Gums they have out in the different flavors i.e. chocolate mint ice cream, orange dreamscicle, strawberry shortcake (fav), and apple pie (new fav)...blah...blah...
and how they remind of Willie Wonka Movie and the lil girl who eats the gum before it is a finished product and she begins to turn into a blueberry (classic movie!)
so anyway I usually chew gum b/f I go to bed (hey don't judge...it beats a midnight snack) so anyways I did my normally routine of having gum in my mouth while I slept and wouldn't you know it?
I woke up with gum on my sheets! I was devastated and had to go to work/errands/study so when I came home that night I googled a remedy and nothing worked...
pb-too bad I don't have any
freeze dry it-nah
ice-nope
then God gave me hope, warm up white wine vinegar (I had) and blot on it to come it and what? It worked so

"Gum on Clothing. Unlike freezing and scraping the gum off (which can thin or destroy an item of clothing), a method which takes little strength and should not damage the item of clothing is simply this:
Take a small amount of white wine vinegar and heat until warm. Take an old toothbrush and begin to rub the gum and surrounding material with the vinegar. The gum will start to soften and come away from the material. This process may require some patience but the gum will come off with no damage to the material. The item of clothing should then be washed. I have not tried this with gum in the hair! -- Regards, Amaia UK"
