She peeled the sticker off, but it left behind a bunch of adhesive which couldn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at the bottle and noted that the label boasted its &#8220;Citrus Power&#8221;. 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.<\/p>\n<p>My mother laughed heartily. Then she returned the Goo Gone to Home Depot and got a refund, laughing the whole time. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Goo Gone for letting us know that we don&#8217;t need your product.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_733\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"\/blogs\/smarticles\/files\/2020\/04\/Goo-Gone-Secret-Recepie-Fail.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/smarticles\/files\/2020\/04\/Goo-Gone-Secret-Recepie-Fail-300x169.png\" alt=\"Goo Gone bottle with &quot;citrus power&quot; logo on label\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/smarticles\/files\/2020\/04\/Goo-Gone-Secret-Recepie-Fail-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/smarticles\/files\/2020\/04\/Goo-Gone-Secret-Recepie-Fail.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Goo Gone gave away its secret right on the label<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago, my mother bought a baking sheet that was &#8220;non-stick&#8221;, except that the label on it stuck all too well to it.
