There's flan on my computer

On last night's episode of Ugly Betty, Betty's family is temporarily living in her apartment on account of the house having burned down one or two episodes ago. For some reason, Betty's father sticks a sandwich bag filled with custard on Betty's laptop. Thus, when Betty arrives at Mode late to give a presentation regarding an upcoming photo shoot with Lady Gaga and she opens her laptop, she's horrified to find the custard on it.

Notice that shot. It looks like some of the contents of the bag have spilled onto the computer's keyboard. Betty removes the bag but on the next shot of the keyboard, it is completely and magically clean, and Betty proceeds to open a file called "Lady Gaga" which has somehow been overwritten with a video of her nephew singing along to a Lady Gaga song. I don't know if I have ever had authentic flan, but something tells me it would be much worse news for a computer it fell on than what we see here.
