Peanut Butter Takes Gum Out Of Hair. Finding: Confirmed.

Jacob and I were pretty giddy one night. You know those kind of tired nights where anything seems funny and anything goes. Its a good thing we were just sitting there watching the office. That is, until Michael got gum stuck in his hair...



So we decided to give it a go.

First I chewed up some gum, Orbitz to be exact.

Then we added some peanut butter and let it sit for a while.

Next we washed it out. Jacob did not get the nice peanut butter massage that Michael Scott did. Honestly the mixture of mint gum and peanut butter really stunk. I pulled a good chunk of the gum out and at first I thought the peanut butter wouldn't work. But once I started to tug at the gum some more, it all just kind of fizzled away while I worked the peanut butter out of his hair.

So, should you ever get curious about the peanut butter myth, it works like a charm.
