My $20 'phone in rice' kit actually saved my Pixel 6 after I dropped it in the sink
I was super skeptical when my friend gave me this little pouch of special drying beads instead of using rice, but after leaving my phone in it for 48 hours, it powered on like nothing happened. Ngl, I thought it was just a gimmick, but the silica gel stuff really pulled all the moisture out. Has anyone else tried one of these kits and had it work, or did I just get lucky?
Amazon ones are the hot dogs of the tool world they work fine but you never brag about it to your buddies. Your buddy might just be trying to justify his purchase to his wife.
