Oof,
One of my friends got some gum on the bottom of his shoes and walked onto the carpet in the back seat of the car.
Whats a good way to get this out?

A friend of mine had the same thing happen just a couple weeks after getting his new MINI. I told him to use Goo Gone. He said it worked great. You can't tell there was ever gum there. And it's available at many stores.

I'd say Goo Gone or any oily product...baby oil for example.
Did a Google for fun, found this that cracked me up:

I clean carpets for a living.. when we come across gum in the carpet, we have little bottles of freon.. (availabe at carpet cleaning supply houses) yes the same freon you use in your fridge or ac.. 12 or 22.. I dont know about the new 134 stuff.. spraying it on the gum freezes it solid.. then you just hammer it and it busts into a million pieces.. leaving the carpet unharmed.. even in the gum is matted deep., it end up in particals. I would assume it would work with clothing and hair too...

Goo gone is known to discolour carpet so be careful. That is why I suggested peanut butter. The oil in it prevents the gum from sticking to other parts of the carpet while you are removing it. Works like a charm.

What gets peanut butter out?

That must've been some kind of misreading. Isn't CFC banned?

I know you have to be a licensed "professional" in order to get it at all, but I don't think its banned outright. I just found the humor of freezing the gum, beating it with a hammer then vacuuming up the pieces.
