Pro tip: I dropped my phone in the toilet at a Buffalo Wild Wings and the rice trick made it worse
Two weeks ago I was at the Buffalo Wild Wings on Transit Road and my phone slipped right out of my hoodie pocket into the toilet. I panicked and buried it in a bag of Minute Rice for 48 hours like everyone says to do. When I pulled it out, the charging port was packed with rice dust and it still wouldn't turn on. A guy at the repair shop on Union Road said rice does almost nothing and told me to use silica packets next time. What do you all do when this happens, or am I just doomed to buy a waterproof case?
