Wonder if he was in an area with bears when he tried shaving with it?

The bubble gum thing really works. I got pitch in my hair by leaning against a pine tree and cried because of my long hair getting cut and then someone came up with that and it worked!

If the bubble gum is stuck on the seat of your pants, it's best to use an ice cube...as the peanut butter would stain it.
My dad taught me that one, the schoolteacher's bane, bubble gum on the chair as a prank.

I've got a spray can with 'freezer' fluid in it. Bubble gum in the hair or on the carpet just cracks away once the fluid is applied. I just spray away and watch the ice crystals form, then pick off the offending gum.

It also works well on candlewax in the carpet pile. I'm not sure whether the spray is available in shops however. I get it through a trade connection. It is normally used as an aid to electonics fault finding.

If you can't get it I'd use an ice cube

So what can I do with a peanut butter cookie?
Bacon works well to trap rats, also. I learned that while stationed in Japan. Caught 13 rats from the same piece of bacon. Got the biggest rat first, then on down to the last puny yearling within 30 minutes.
But, bubble gum in hair? How about peanut OIL?

Now here's what the Asians did in Hawaii to catch "cockaroaches"..as they call them there. Bear in mind that the "roach hotel" we have in the States is way too small for these big roaches, they are hideous, so they take a glass jar, fairly deep, and put peanut butter in the bottom of it..and they check in but they don't check out!

Peanut oil, well we didn't have it up in the mountains where I got the pitch in my long hair, at least it wasn't chunky pb!

I use peanut butter to make cold sesame noodles--made some just the other night. I use sesame oil, but the peanut butter is the base for the dish.

I'd rather just eat peanut butter than use it for another purpose. It's hard to imagine shaving one's legs or armpits with peanut butter.:)

Have to use one of those Gilette Venus razors, this unsolicited shameless plug is brought to you by Bruyere.
they invented a better mouse trap when they made that one!
But peanut butter, that would be hard!
