What is the best thing to do when you drop an AirPod down the drain briefly and are able to get it quickly?

I've cleaned/sanitized and let it dry and everything. The audio seems fine and I'm playing that audio track that dislodges the water with sound.
Anything else I should do? Rice etc?

Rice wouldn't hurt. Draw any moisture out.
If you have any silica packs, these work better.
These are a terrific inexpensive item to keep on hand in general. I bought some food grade packets off of Amazon and I use them in many of my kitchen dry goods and homemade spices.
Oh, that's an interesting idea! I'm going to start saving them when they are in packages just in case of this sort of scenario.
You can also buy them online for cheap and in semi-bulk last time I checked
Luckily, I just bought a bunch of sneakers and they shipped it in each box.
Apple themselves have said putting it in rice can actually damage the hardware. Don't do it.
This is news to me. Do you have a link? I can't imagine how rice would damage electronics and would appreciate more info.
According to Apple, the small particles can damage the electronics. No further detail.
Hey, thanks for the link! I'll definitely take the advice someone else had and use packing silica instead.
