You know, I thought I was the only crazy person that noticed this as well!

I bet it has something to do with the oils/butter/fats in the chocolate. It breaks down the chewing gum, due to the addition of this "foreign" substance.

That's why I suppose Peanut Butter works well at removing gum from your hair. The oils break it down.

Wonder what everyone else thinks!
