…when I dropped my iPhone into a glass of raspberry lemonade and let it soak for a little while, thus insuring that the complex piece of machinery and engineering would never function properly again?

That time sucked.

- Because I can.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Where's a time machine when you need it?

[Devin Austra]

I suppose laughing maniacally would be inappropriate at this time.
Gonna do it anyway.

I always laugh when people inadvertently destroy their cellphones.

[vargas7]

That does suck.
You should take the opportunity to switch.
iphones suck hehehe

[Flying Gremlin]

He'll use this as an excuse to buy an iPhone 3Gs.

Just watch.

But did you ruin the lemonade?

Our local news JUST ran a story on what to do in this situation.

Put the phone inside a plastic baggy, along with a piece of bread and one of those silicone gel packs that come in various items (you know, the ones that say "Do Not Eat' on them). They're designed to absorb moisture from deep inside things like cell phones.

Also, if you don't have a baggy or a silicone gel pack, bury it in rice inside of an airtight tupperware container.

The news said that either of these methods should work most of the time.

Hope that helps!

Wrap the iphone in a paper towel and place in kitty litter or rice.

I don't see how cat poop will help in this matter, but it will be fun to see

It was probably an application on said iPhone

[Deamon69]

I am kind of surprised about this... how can an iPhone NOT have an automated, integrated anti-liquid force field ?!
It is an iPhone after all... It's probably the only thing it doesn't have

There's an App for that.....

Randy is getting you a new one when?

Question, sohmer... how long is "a little while"? Just curious because if I did that I would instantly pull it out in a panic.

He's referring to the material put inside cat boxes which would then absorb the moisture from cat poop or urine, not the poop itself.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_litter

Ok, NO ONE has broached my burning question...:

How big of a glass was it to facilitate containing a dropped iPhone?! And why was there no vodka and/or Red Bull in it?!

[sylan0]

Randy is getting you a new one when?

i was wondering if he was just gonna get mcCahans that he left behind when he went back home

[Cybercat]

Maybe he can get a better phone now?

At least tell us it wasn't Crystal Light raspberry lemonade.

[BaneShiver]

Normally you wait until the little one is out of the womb before these type of shenanigans happen. Way to think ahead.

[Daltana]

Just wait until your new baby is born. There will be many more electronic devices soaked in various fluids. Like the time my cell phone was dropped in a hotel toilet. Then 2 days later when the replacement phone was dunked in the ocean during a walk on the beach with my (then) 2 year old.
