I got chocolate ice cream in my cell phone charger
Do you think it's toast?

3. I'm not sure exactly
I bought a drumstick (ice cream treat) yesterday. I put the wrapper in my garbage bag (in my car.)

Today, I went to plug in my phone, and the end was covered in ice cream. I can only assume that it must have fallen into the bag and made contact.

2. No. Toast is made from bread,not from ice cream.

5. I expected better from you, Redstone.
I took it to one cell phone shop and they said it was toast - no way to clean it. 'The chargers are no longer in stock, did I want to get a new phone?'

Another place said to rinse it off and let it dry really well.

10. Sorry I let you down. Do you have ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS
to live up to everybody's expectations all the time, every day, and then have to hear that better was expected from you, even though you did the very best you could do?

Well, do you?

What about my needs? Huh?

I don't think I can help you with any of your "needs" though.

13. That's all right. I've gone through life with my needs
unfulfilled for so long, I've gotten used to it. I'll live.

Double sniff.

Sorry about your phone, though.

6. "Ice cream + phone charger = toast?" You don't know much about cooking.
Or is this a copycat thread of my "peanut butter on my chocolate" thread? OK, I'll play along.

NO, you got cell phone charger on my ice cream!

9. Well, for what it's worth, I've dropped my cell phone in salsa before...
It's the kind with the open battery jack and it got totally soaked in the salsa. I wiped it off and let it dry and it's never given me troubles. I think you should just wait it out a few hours and then try it out.

8. I think I can get any cell phone charger.
If you PM me the make/model, I can look it up in the AM. It'll be well under $10 (American ;)).
