For years you’ve heard that if your phone gets wet, you should put it in a bag of rice. That might work with some phones, but not the iPhone. Apple has released an official paper stating that putting wet devices in a bag of rice could “allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone.” Although, it does not go into further detail.

The company also recommended against using other well-known hacks, such as using an external heat source to dry the phone, or sticking a cotton swab into the connector.

It’s National Bread Banana Day! Here are a couple fun facts about banana bread:

1. Banana bread is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s. One theory is that is was created by enterprising housewives who were looking for ways to use up overripe bananas, before they went bad.
2. One of the earliest known recipes for banana bread appeared in Pillsbury’s 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook. This recipe used mashed bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking soda, thick sour cream and salt. Over time, other ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract and chopped nuts were added to the basic recipe to give banana bread even more flavor and texture. Today, there are endless variations on this classic quick bread. From chocolate chip banana bread to vegan banana bread.
