Within minutes, the bubblegum will be history, and your gum chewer will be back on her way to blowing a world record bubble.

  1. Place the pair of glasses into the freezer; leave for ten minutes.

  2. Scrape the bubble gum off the lenses and frames of the glasses, using a fingernail or the edge of a spatula and taking care not to scratch the lenses. The bubble gum will pop off easily; if the gum begins to soften repeat the freezing process.

  3. Clean the seam where the lens fits into the frame, using a toothpick to pop the frozen gum from the surface.

  4. Wash and dry your glasses as usual. They are now ready to wear.
