Yep, gum on his pants. He knelt down on some and really imbedded it within the fabric fibers.
Thanks for a fresh challenge, son!
Instinctively, I slathered some peanut butter onto the spot and rubbed it in.
Nothing budged.
Then I remembered something about ice hardening gum, allowing it to be scraped from fabric. I put some cubes on top and waited about 20 minutes.
After scraping with a knife and not much fuss at all, the gum was gone.
Worked like a charm!
I don't know if the peanut butter helped or if I could have skipped it.
But I do know that a day without gum on your pants is a good day, indeed.

I'll remember this if I ever have to remove gum from clothing. I've also heard that lemon essential oil will work, though I have not had a need to try it yet. Thanks for posting!
