Keep in mind what kind of wall surface or finish you are working with, and consider trying one of these:

- Baking Soda (mix with warm water in palm of one hand, dab finger into this paste and try rubbing on "goo" spot - very mild, almost no abrasion, rinses easily, but use with care on any surface that could be damaged by water or rubbing.)

- Mayonnaise (put dab of mayo on spot and let stand 30 minutes or so, repeat as necessary - can leave oily spot on susceptible surfaces or finishes.)

- Lighter fluid (last resort -- Hazardous -- extremely flammable, bad fumes, can dissolve or damage or stain most surfaces. Not a horrible idea on something like a plain white refrigerator door, but very risky on most paints and, I should think, many wall papers.

Use a tiny bit on a paper towel or Q-Tip. Will liquefy and spread "goo" as much as pick it up, but might break "goo" up enough so Baking Soda tip (above) works. -- Work quickly. Fluid dries in seconds and "goo spot" becomes "goo smear." When done (or given up), wash "cleaned" area with Baking Soda or dish-washing liquid. Residual fluid continues to dissolve susceptible finishes, and is still flammable until it evaporates completely. Ditto for used paper towel or Q-Tip. Wash them out in soapy water and dispose of carefully. Repeating: Using lighter fluid is risky because of the fire hazard and the possibility of damaging or staining the wall. If you're not comfortable trying it, then don't.)

OOPS or GooGone, if the wall isn't papered.

Try rubbing it off with something dipped in alcohol. It's much safer than lighter fluid, but slightly less likely to work.

I put alcohol on a cotton ball or tissue to rub price tag goo off things.
