Goo Gone Secret Recipe Fail

Years ago, my mother bought a baking sheet that was “non-stick”, except that the label on it stuck all too well to it. She peeled the sticker off, but it left behind a bunch of adhesive which couldn’t scrape it off since that would have ruined the non-stick coating. She asked someone at Home Depot for advice and they sold her a bottle of Goo Gone. She brought it home and told me to read the instructions and use it to get the adhesive off of the baking sheet.

I looked at the bottle and noted that the label boasted its “Citrus Power”. I also noted that the liquid in it was orange. I put the bottle down and opened the fridge. I pulled out an orange and peeled it. I squeezed the rind a little to make it exude a little orange-oil and rubbed it on the baking sheet and the adhesive came right off.

My mother laughed heartily. Then she returned the Goo Gone.

Thank you Goo Gone for letting us know that we don’t need your product.
