Spilled soda on my limited-edition mouse pad, panicked for 10 minutes before remembering it's waterproof

Last Friday I was gaming and knocked a whole can of Dr Pepper onto my Glorious XXL pad. I grabbed paper towels and started dabbing frantically, but then I remembered I paid $60 for this thing at a local con 3 years ago. Ended up rinsing it in the shower and it dried completely fine overnight. Anyone else have a close call with a rare pad?

Panicked for 10 minutes" is basically me every time I touch my mousepad lol. I spilled coffee on my Artisan Hien and almost cried before remembering it's literally designed for water. It's honestly embarrassing how attached we get to these glorified fabric rectangles.

Kinda dramatic, @gibson.oliver. It's a mousepad, not a family heirloom. If it breaks, you just buy another one.
