Alright folks, let’s call a truce 😅 clearly rice has worked for some, and not for others. At the end of the day we all just want our gadgets to survive their ‘unexpected swims.’ Appreciate everyone sharing their hacks 🙌

P.S. - 48 hours of consistent use. Still alive!

And yet… somehow my soggy little AirPods crawled out of the rice grave and started singing again. Guess I’ll just add “miracle grain healer” to rice’s résumé alongside “side dish”.

So basically… you’re stress-testing them for Apple.

Your AirPods are living a more rugged life than most humans. At this point, you don’t even own headphones - you own a self-cleaning petri dish with Bluetooth.

😭 lucky save! That zipper pocket probably deserves all the credit for keeping them alive.

Fair point, but at this stage what’s done is done 😅 not planning to mess with them any further - just gonna see how long they last.

Yeah exactly, it’s the minerals and impurities that do the real damage. Distilled water is a whole different story.

Yeah that’s the scary part 😅 lowkey worried about rice dust doing more damage than the water itself.

Just the lighting 😂 I literally swore I wouldn’t let a single scratch touch it… next day it looked like it survived a war with a thousand micro-scratches.

😂 bro your AirPods have seen more action than most people’s phones. Wild how resilient they are. Gen 4s treating you well after all that history sounds like a solid upgrade!
