Lighter fluid works well for taking care of that.
Just pour it on the Walmart and light a match.

I hate when people repost Reddit/Facebook pictures with the original captions.
That’s beyond mildly infuriating.
Rip. Might try wetting it with mineral oil for 5 to 15 minutes. Might loosen the adhesive.
Swabbing with rubbing alcohol also helps with adhesive but test it first to be sure it doesn't also dissolve the ink on the picture on the backpack
On another surface or material? Maybe. On a Walmart backpack? I wouldn’t even risk it.
This is the best option. It’s very unlikely it’ll affect the backpack, it degrades the adhesive, and then evaporates. Pull it off when it’s still wet. If there’s still residue after the label is off, use a paper towel with alcohol on it to rub off the rest. Might take a few passes.
(What’s weird is the Walmart stickers like this I’ve received have post-it note type adhesive, not permanent adhesive.)
Citrus oil cleaners like Murphy will do the same thing, as an alternative option
Just use Goo Gone.
Heat and humidity if the other suggestions don't help. Walmart is the worst, and I hate stickers on my stuff, so double infuriating ...
Bummer. When this kinda thing happens to me I just accept the fate the universe has delivered me, and pick off the sticker for like 45 minutes while watching an episode or something.
No other removal method has proven reliably non-damaging.
It could be worse. I've seen someone buying a big LEGO set for several hundred dollars, and they just slapped an address sticker on the box and sent it off. Not only that the sticker ruined the box, but the postal disservice ruined it even further.
Goo-Gone ? hair dryer?

This has always been my go to
Don't complain about buying crap from greedy capitalists
You got a link that isn't from greedy capitalists for a Minecraft backpack that your kid wants?
That's what the fuck I thought.
My kids received a proper education. They don't want that crap.
Maybe walk into the store yourself instead of contributing to the waves of Walmart employees paying those big shopper carts around?
If you're okay with supporting the Waltons, their community-destroying business model, and the half a trillion dollars they're hoarding, you've already forfeited the moral high ground and should probably not criticize...
Cool story bro. There are no grocery alternatives here.
