Phone
Rice isn’t just amazing as an air freshener, it can also save your phone from a sailor’s dead. If you’ve dropped your phone in the toilet or in the sink this trick can save it. Dry rice absorbs the water from your phone. It’s important to put your phone into a bowl or bag of rice for at least 48 hours. Also make sure you take out the battery and the SIM card. You can leave these to dry on an absorbing cloth. Never use a blowdryer to dry your phone. The warm air is bad for the device and you’ll only blow the moisture into other parts of the phone. This will only damage it more!
Banana
Bananas seem to go brown in the blink of an eye and while they’re usually still fine to eat, they don’t really look very tasty. Most people throw away brown bananas right away, but there’s no need for that! With this trick, you can turn a brown banana back to its yellow colour. Put some rice in a ziplock back and add the banana to it. Close the bag and make sure the banana is more or less covered by the rice. Leave the banana in the bag for about an hour. After an hour, take out your blow dryer. Take the banana out of the bag of rice and then blow it with the blow dryer. Watch the magic happen as the banana turns yellow again!
