Here is a goal: How to remove gum from a piece of clothing?

Which way makes more sense to accomplish this goal?
First, you will need: Ice cubes, a butter knife, and a small bowl. Put the ice cubes in the small bowl. Grab your piece of clothing with the gum on it and lay it flat on a table or counter. Place one ice cube under the gum and one ice cube on top. Leave the ice cubes to soak into the gum for 30 minutes. Next, grab your butter knife and gently scrape the gum off. It should be nice and loose from the ice and should come off quite easily.
