I'd have to be on Coke to buy another PC in my lifetime, let alone use Windows ever again.

HAHAHA
I understand the concept, but if I spilled something on my MBP, I would not want to put it near any food, drink, or otherwise. Maybe I am new to the concept of rice on a computer, but wouldn't you feel better to pay Apple to take a look at it? Maybe if they did it you could skate around any worries of warranty repair. If it didn't make its way to the internal components they would see it wasn't as bad as it could be?
Or am I missing something?

Yea, you would have to be cautious about rice getting into the SD and CD slots etc...
I would probably but some lace or fine mesh between the machine and the rice tbh.

Just tear it apart and clean everything, MBP are so easy to take apart compared to a PC. 8 screws and you have access to everything in the computer.
That, I would get rid of with isopropyl alcohol...
Unless anyone can think of a downside of using it, or a better method...
Isopropyl not so great for cleaning sugars. Regulator water - even better, distilled water is ideal for this.
Water is a solvent, after all.
After washing / rinsing / rinsing / rinsing / rinsing - it needs to dry for an eternity, shake as much water as you can physically remove, blow if off with air, use a paper towel - THEN use the rice trick, or desiccant....

Put the laptop in the microwave (highest setting) for 20 minutes. This method solves spillage problems, but unfortunately creates many other...compilations.
I agree with the user who advised prayer. After taking all of the steps recommended up to his point, all you can hope for is some divine act of providence to save your a**.
But don't feel bad, Apple will fix it for ~$340 under their new all-inclusive repair option. The days of $1,200 logic board replacements are gone.

Well Today Popped out Most of the keys, still struggling with the right Caps , Enter Button, help is really appreciated. The problem is those Buttons are aomehow fixed different. The good news is there is almost no sugary spots Seen on the keys. And completely nothing on the macbook Part of the keys. So what do you guys think? If Coke would have went through to the further interial Part of the Hardware, sugar should Be Seen where is nothing to See right now, am i right?
No that is my iPhone, because Standard Auto correction is German and we got a Lot of capatalized words. it really sucks because almost everything is changed White i Write.

These are the Pictures As you can See there is a Small hole on the right Hand Side of the Caps. Also this is the Area with the Most spilled cola, Bad luck because all Other keys are Kind of sealed with the unibody enclosure, im pretty sure it is Not airtight, but at least it does Not have a fuxking hole. Its Not Even Funny that all the Other keys are Not Even affected. But Anyways so you guys think i can clean the Caps hole with Some Alkohol?
