The problem is, my brother and me had a box-fight on my bed. And then, he hit me in the face, so that the chewing gum fell out of my mouth, and landed on my bed. We couldn't find the chewing gum, so we didn't think about it further. Today, I woke up, and my mum asked what happend to my back..... well yeah, it was the chewing gum. And I just can't get rid of this #!?£{]! chewing gum.

Thanx for any tips.

WTF kind of chewing gum is that? Goo-Gone is some good stuff to remove ANYTHING...

Definitely rubbing alcohol - although I've also gotten gum out of hair with nail polish remover, so that might work too.

if you have a can of compressed air, have your brother turn it upside down, and spray the gum. make sure he's wearing a pair of gloves. a few spritzes should do it...

That'll burn/freeze if it hits your skin!:Q

What kinda gum is this? I didn't know it was that sticky!
You could scrape it off with a red hot knife!
