How will rice fix a cel phone

24 Comments

I have been told that if your cell phone gets wet you should put in rice. I don't see how this will help.
Which one of these options do you think is right?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Buy powdered silica (used to dry flowers) from a craft store. Take the back off the phone before you seal it in your air tight container with the silica.

    Ha, did you just finish watching that new Keanu Reeves fuck fest, Knock Knock? That's what he did to fix one of the hooers cells phones. I don't remember if it actually worked though.

    The water isn't the problem, it's the residue it leaves behind one it dries, surrounding it with rice in a Tupperware is meant to draw the moisture out so no residue is left behind

        I just use a Tupperware wasn't a general tip to follow, did sound like it the way I typed it though, but, phones carry an incredible amount of germs from everything you touch during the day so I wouldn't feel comfortable putting it in rice that is still going to be used

          I didn't think of that aspect, thanks .... well, I've eaten all that rice now and it didn't seem to do me any harm but if I have to do it again I'll put it in a separate container to the one I cook from.

    Why waste rice on my phone when I can eat it for breakfast with eggs and spam?
