TIL the hard way that anime marathons and 3 AM snacks don't mix

I was in my dorm room last Saturday, halfway through a 12-episode binge of my favorite show, when I tried to eat instant ramen while lying on my side. The noodles went straight into my laptop keyboard, shorting out the spacebar and a few arrow keys. Anyone else have a food disaster during a marathon that wrecked your setup?

Honestly, "shorting out the spacebar" is basically a rite of passage for anyone who eats over a laptop. Ngl, I once tried to eat a bag of hot Cheetos while paused on an action scene and ended up dusting my entire keyboard in that red powder. The 'A' key still has a faint orange tint to it from months ago. Tbh, at this point my keyboard is less a piece of tech and more a tribute to my terrible late-night decision making.

@ivan82 At least your Cheetos dust keys have a story, mine just have mysterious sticky residue from that one time I tried eating ramen over the keyboard.

@ivan82 At least your late night Cheetos dust key has more character than the coffee stain mine's named after.
