Freezing it will always work, even if you end up just brushing off
frozen rubber flakes.  Ice cubes probably won't be enough.  Get a
can of canned air which is almost always R134a or something in that
ballpark. Turn the can upside down, spray the liquid on the gum, let
it freeze and then pick or brush off.

I see others in this thread recommending Goof Off or other strong
solvent. That's the guaranteed way to make a spot in the fabric.  If
not from the dissolved gum, then from the accumulated dirt and
dissolved dye.  Don't do it!
