Wouldn't it be nice if there was some place we could hang a big sign that says. Rice is for eating and wont dry your phone. It seems like every other question that involves a water damaged phone ,tablet or computer it gets stuck in rice and for five minutes or a few hours You could probably feed a staving nation with the wasted rice. When I use desiccant or silica gel I leave it there for days before I clean things properly. Thank you for letting me vent .
