Ahhh yes Rice, perfect for those freshly cleaned electrical items, although it didn't save my mates 5D after he dropped it in the ocean

A good story with a happy ending...

The rice trick saved my mobile phone after it went through the wash.
But smarty pants me decided to leave the mobile out on the table in the sun to fully dry and my dogs thought it was a toy and chewed it to death.
