Do you use the Five Second Rule?!


Question: Do you use the Five Second Rule!?
Answers:
No your food gets germs on it anytime it hits the floor even if it hits a clean floor because shoes and feet get it dirty the faster you pick it up the less germs there will be on it!. the longer the more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No I don't!. I really don't have a 'rule'!. If it's like a popsicle that I drop I'll just rinse it off, but something like pizza I'll just throw it away!. The second it hits the floor it's got germs on it, so if it stays there 3 seconds or 7, your gonna have germs on it!. What the point of eating it then!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

No! If it touches the ground, I can't eat it!. I have two dogs that walk around and leave their fur everywhere!. Eating off of the floor is like eating off of them XD Not that they're disgustingly dirty, but I don't really know where they've been!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You know the five second rule doesn't actually do anything!. They tested it on Mythbusters!. You could leave it there for 5, 10, 15, 20 seconds & it would be the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO, the minute it touches the floor
it has come to contact with germs!.

its like a burger falling in mudd, theres no five second rule for that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends!. Yes typically!. But if the ground appears too dirty, of if hairs / dirt get on it, no!.


And I may rinse it off if necessary!. But sometimes you just gotta let it go!. LolWww@FoodAQ@Com

They had that question on the "Doctors Show" yesterday morning!. Please note that as soon as your food touches the ground it is contaminated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah!.!.!. germs dont usually travel on food on the floor within about a minute actullyWww@FoodAQ@Com

Depends where it fell!.!.!.


Anywhere other than my room floor (which I clean continuously) I don't eat!.
I'd be to scared of getting staph or mono, which has been going around the area lately!.!.!.!. ew!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

whether its 5 seconds or 10 seconds!.!.it still gets the same amount of germs and dirt from when you dropped it, so what is the point!?!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No once it touches the floor it goes in the trash!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use the "as long as I know what it is" rule!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends!. Where did it drop to!? also, what sort of food was it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd love to, but I never get the chance!. My dogs gobble up any piece that falls on the floor on the first second!Www@FoodAQ@Com
