In the 1950s my grandmother used put the unripe mangoes into the big ceramic rice jar she always kept her rice in and occasionally our accidently soaked wrist-watches as well...
The mangoes ripened beautifully and our wrist-watches would start ticking again....
Tis clip reminded me of my childhood holidays at my grandparent' in Sandakan, North Borneo (now Sabah)...
Thankyou...

Rice quickly sucks up the surrounding moisture. Make sure the environment is free from excess humidity, drop the wet device in a container of rice and let it sit. For a better desiccant, it’d be a good idea to store all those little silica gel packets that come in anything from shoe boxes to moisture-sensitive gadgets.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9A7979C4-01B0-48DA-A882-542A992B3EC8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
