The oil in peanut butter has something in it that breaks down the gum (try chewing some gum, then adding peanut butter to your mouth- bye-bye gum.)

It's not true, gum is made up of both digestible sugars and indigestible carbohydrates called gums.\n\nThe indigestible part of chewing gum is passed through your body, just like fiber would be.\nThere also is no time lapse in the digestion process.  It goes through your body at the same pace as everything else.\n\nYou would be fine if you swallowed your gum!

Put KEROSIN on the area of the gum and do your best to get it out.\nI have tried it out and it works,you can then wash the cloth with water and the smell will go and wash as usual.

I'm not sure I understand...\n\nWhat does a piece of gum in your stomach have to do with swimming?  The gum is going to pass through your body with or without digesting within a few days.  Do coins digest?  No, but they pass through your system and out the back end quick enough.

vitamin E is supposed to be good for your hair, but it probably doesnt keep it from falling out. You should talk to your doctor

Hair shampoo and conditioners that contain that tea tree oil (it helps by killing any microbs that could be causing a problem).  If it doesn't help, contact a doctor, it may be a sign of something more serious.

Try soaking it in boiling water for a few minutes. This should make it pliable again. If this fails, you should try zapping it in the microwave - but only in 10 second bursts as, if you leave it too long, it will melt and will be HELL to remove!

Many supplements cause that to occur, don't worry about it.   I think it's the food coloring in it.  I bet it has a strange smell to it also.

They probably add a something to the peanut butter that bonds to the oil, sucking it up, keeping it from seperating out. Specific type of flour would do it. When they mix the flour back into the peanut butter the oil won't separate out because its long chain fats are bound to the flour's starches.

If I remember rightly from Chemistry classes (a long time ago), the curl is determined by the secondary structure of hair proteins, namely the disulfide bonds. Chemicals act by denaturalizing the protein breaking those bonds, then the hair is rearranged (in curls or straight) and when the disulfide bonds form again, they maintain the new shape.

Its acting that way because you were used to your original shampoo. And your hair isn't used to it. So that's why your hair is acting funny.

Our chemsitry teacher would use liquid oxygen to freeze the gum. When it's frozen it becomes brittle and just snaps off in pieces. You can get the same effect by using an ordinary household freezer.
