Use Peanut Butter to remove gum out of clothes myth?

One of my jackets was knocked off a coat rack and then stepped on with a piece of gum. I went to good old Google for advice, and found all of these articles that said use peanut butter to get the gum out. My gut reaction to this was my jacket will be ruined. But low and behold it works, I can’t believe it.

This is so weird I thought I needed to share it. What will it be next? Ice cream to remove stains? ;-)
