Help! I got Fresca on my LCD screen! - Blu-ray Forum

ngkf7 · 10-10-2008, 04:21 AM

Yes, you read it right. A while back I had my TV on my desk at school and needless to say I had a few alcoholic beverages and decided it would be a good idea to play some Mario Kart Wii. Eventually I knocked a cup of Fresca full force and it spilled all over my TV. I wiped up what I could with my cloth and then just left the rest. I decided I would now check as to what exactly I could do to clean the screen itself. I have a Samsung LCD so I usually use the cloth that came with it to wipe it down, but I'd like to remove some of the stickyness.

Whats the best thing to use for a screen and the plastic edging?

Thanks a lot.

Fresca?

ngkf7 · 10-10-2008, 04:29 AM

Fresca, the delicious grapefruit flavored soda:

saprano · 10-10-2008, 04:46 AM

I've never seen that before.

JJ · 10-10-2008, 04:57 AM

...dear lord...me either.

I think we're more shocked about this "new drink" than the actual accident - but don't use windex! I would recommend the typical screen cleaners, Monster's is actually a good choice here.

Your first problem was drinking fresca. ew.

christopher2200 · 10-10-2008, 05:18 AM

I would check my owner's manual and see if it says its ok to use the monster cleaner or not. I would not recommend using the cleaner if in your owners manual it says to only use warm water with mild soap. I used it on my Sony LCD and didn't listen to the warning in the owner's manual and it messed it up.

El Negro · 10-10-2008, 05:26 AM

Just save yourself the trouble and get a new tv, J/K. Go with Monster as mentioned above or something cheaper but similar.

plowmanjoe · 10-10-2008, 05:30 AM

i would just keep using the water. wet blue cloth clean it as much as you can and then totally rinse the cloth clean. repeat. personally that's what i would do.

odin24 · 10-10-2008, 06:53 AM

LOL, Fresca, my mom's been drinking that for as long as I can remember... and I'm 29.

I suggest using a damp micro-fiber cloth (water) with a little bit of liquid soft soap (hand soap).

Please, let us know how you made out.

For all of you who have never heard of Fresca....... it's clearly mentioned in Caddyshack by Ted Knight

haste · 10-10-2008, 11:33 AM

fresca is good. been around for a looooong time now...

Hawk · 10-10-2008, 11:43 AM

Fresca came out in the early 60's. One of its early spokespersons was a young Johnny Carson.

New drink? That's been around for over 30 years. I would wipe the TV down with a mildly damp cloth.

Chupacabra · 10-10-2008, 12:02 PM

Dude, Fresca? Really? You might as well be drinking Zima.

Fresca is good stuff with Vodka, or Bacardi. But on its own, it comes with a pair of pink panties.

ngkf you are a manly man.
