Day 9: YOU WANT SUM BUBBLE GUUUUM?

Now, I know what you're thinking, and that is that I've already used this title for one of my VEDA vlogs. But once you read this, you will see why I had an overwhelming need to recycle this title.
Tonight, I thought grilled cheese would be a delicious option for dinner. I am especially fantastic at making grilled cheese. I can't cook anything else, but I am wonderful at that one entree.
Anyways, I grabbed the pan out of the dishwasher, cleaned it out, and put my soon-to-be grilled cheese on the burner. After waiting about five minutes and flipping the sandwich a few times, I started noticing sort of an odd smell. It kind of smelled like candy mixed with hate.
At first I thought it was just me, and went on cooking my food. Then, when the smell got stronger, I realized that it was definitely not just me and picked up the pan, which was sizzling on the burner in an unusual way. When I lifted it up, I was attacked with smell and the was some sort of melted substance on the burner and on the bottom of the pan. The smell was becoming unbearable so I switched pans and took the first one of the stove.
After it cooled down a bit, I attempted to removed whatever was smoking on the bottom of it. When the sponge I originally used failed to remove it, I grabbed the steel wool and started scrubbing. Instead of coming off, the whitish substance spread around the pan and became kind of sticky- a consistency I recognized.
Hardly daring to believe it, I call to my mom in the other room "It kind of looks like . . . gum."
There was a moment of silence, and then, to my horror, she responds "So THAT'S where my gum went."

And that, excitingly enough, is not the most interesting place I have found her gum.
You may be wondering if we ever got the gum off the pan. Here is your answer.
