Hey! Don't throw away that, You Never Know when your Technology might need it

We see them everywhere, they are packed in some Snacks, like Beef Jerky, in New Shoes and in Electronics, and what do we do with them when we get them? We Throw them away!

Then , that day comes, you know that Fateful day when you drop your Smart Phone in a puddle, Little Jimmy or Jenny attempts to discover if the Tablet will Float, or you spill coffee on it over breakfast.  Te first thought being "CRAP! that's going to cost me hundreds to replace!

If you're lucky, you have some dry white rice that you can toss the device into in order to suck all the liquid out of it, and hopefully, pull it back from the brink of the Electronic Afterlife, until you realize… you finished off the Rice the night before making that dish for dinner.

you're at that point of "!@#$ What do I do now, my brand new [insert brand and item here] is DEAD!" until you stop for a second…"wait a tick, I planned specifically for this!" you say to yourself, running to the Tech box, where you pull out that reusable plastic deli meat container filled with the contents of that substance we used to always toss out, thats right THE SILICA PACK! 

Tossing the device in the bin, you pace back and forth for a day as those little beads wick the water away from all the sensitive areas of your device, you pull it out, you turn it on, you hear the familiar notes of your notification alert! Success, as you hold it to the sky, doing the Doctor Frankenstein "It's Alive" performance.


All because that little package got directed to a reusable cause instead of just being tossed in the trash.
