Oooh, I'll have to pick some of that up. I totally forgot about gum-stuck-to-carpet/mats situations.

This is what I have found to work best. Put some ice in a baggie. Use it to freeze the gum. Then most of it can be picked or scrapped off with a plastic knife. A little hair spray dabbed on it should remove what is left!

I use my nitrous bottle. 1 second squirt and the gum snaps off in pieces.

The easy way for me is use ice stick to the gum (to make it stiff) then you can remove it.

Spray can of air held upside down when spraying will have the same effect.
