That’s the righteous Mr True we like to see around here.
This pisses me off so fucking much. I loathe chewing gum because of smacking and stepping in it. Does anyone have a good pro tip for removing it from my shoe?
Well, if certain comics have taught me anything, it’s that preventitive measures work best. So the next time you see someone casually spit out their gum, you should casually grab them by the neck, shove their face into the gum, and ask if they would like to step on it. That saves the next person from stepping in it.
I’d try some different solvents on it to see what works. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol is my go-to for sticky things. You could also try vinegar, the mild acid can sometimes dissolve organic stuff that gets stuck on. There’s also products like GooGone which are specialized solvents and usually good at getting gum out.
Otherwise, a good stick and rubbing sand in it will eventually let you pick most of it off.
