I thought the whole purpose of the joke, the punchline, was that leaving your phone in rice would attract an Indian to the food, and compulsively fix the phone. That’s what I heard in school with that joke anyway

Plus the joke is adding a high percentage of clear alcohol to the product, in which case it attracts Russians to fix the phone.

Nah, this little bit of wisdom has been around since flip phones in the early 2000s era. That’s long before there were any businessmen cooking up various franchises based around variations of 'fix’ation.
