I hear you can put it in a bowl of rice. If you let it sit in a bowl of rice, the rice will attract an asian man to come and fix your phone for you.

Unplug it, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.

If you have a protection plan on it you can do the same thing but with watermelon. Put it in a bowl of watermelon and then after it gets stolen call your carrier and have them send you out a new phone.

Yeah, I don't know about #3 if your not near a vacuum (suck moister out with your mouth). Obviously, the toilet drop is out. I wonder if wrapping in paper/ cloth and giving a good shake would help or hurt here.

 

Also, I thought they were making phones more waterproof now. No?

Toss it in the trash, and buy a new one.

you’re going to have to perform reverse CPR on your gadget’s orifices. Get an empty bowl and set it down next to you. ... Every time you suck in some liquid, spit it into the bowl to avoid swallowing any sort of weird mechanical chemicals.

No way in hell I'm doing this if it fell in any toilet. However, it it happens to drop in trout's toilet, I will call t-dawg.

Please clarify who would be attracted to watermelon and capable of stealing.

I usually just put my wet phone in a huge bowl filled with baking soda and salt. Works flawlessly.

Many years ago I was having a discussion with our chief engineer as to what to do if a drink is spilled into electronics. This subject came up when an effects console was destroyed by an editor that dumped her soda in it, told no one and quietly swapped it out for one in another edit bay.

 

So this guy tells me if I ever dump a drink into a keyboard to unplug it immediately and rush it to the sink and rinse it out before the coke eats away at the solder and gums up the keys. I was thinking about just how long I would last if the owner walks by as I am rinsing out one of his 1/4 million dollar efx devices in the break room and decided I will call one of the techs to do it instead.

Yeah, but you didn't lick them dry before you put them back on.

Maybe he likes to chew on the earpiece.
