Wretched chewing gum
Anyone know how to get it off clothes apart from freezing? It melts too fast when I try and deal with it.

Thanks

I could tell you
but then i would have to kill you.

If everyone knew how to remove chewing gum from stuff frankly the universe would unravel faster than you can say "Large Hadron Collider!"

alternatively i thought blu-tac rubbed it off quite well?

^pfffft
rubbed it off

I might be mistaken, but I vaguely remember hearing that peanut butter can help get chewing gum out of hair....might be worth a try?

Freeze it.
With a verucca/wart freezing spray thing. You can get them from Chemists/Boots. Much more effective than a freezer because you can re-apply and re-freeze as necessity demands.

Edit: Not quite sure what I've done to receive that kind of treatment. I accidentally posted the title without writing the rest :S

Completely cover the item in chewing gum.
Then it won't notice.

That's enough.

@Spimf
Something that keeps them intact would be preferable though.

@ Vipros
I heard that about peanut butter, but I think it's disgusting so I refuse to have it in my flat.

@No3l
Good tip on that about hair conditioner. I shall try it.

And I'm rather wondering if the influx of replies is due to a lack of actual QOTW goodness...

Ok.
I'm just making sure that all is well on my board.

I didn't mind much
about Whitehouse thing; I hate the fucker too. He's an embarrassment to most Texans.

If you freeze it
with hairspray, it comes off very easily. Just be careful not to get the hairspray on the material itself.
