ok the 5 second rule is where if some fool falls on the floor if you pick it up in less then 5 seconds you can still eat it. Do you do this or once something hits the floor it's gone to you?

When I drop my food on the floor, I imagine all the dust and dirt that must have been on that spot. So I would have to say no, dropped food is out of bounds for me.

it depends on the food. if its something mushy or sticky then no...but if dry like a biscuit then i would still eat it if i manage to pick it up within 5 seconds

the food that had fallen,is too late to be saved.the moment it landed,was the moment the bacterias invaded.yup, it's that fast.

I don't.... it's more like 30 seconds

But only with dry foods on not noticably dirty floors

Erm... It really depends on the food... If I can pick it up and eat it within five seconds, I'll be alright...

Depends on the food and floor.
Sometimes it can be a minute. >.>

There's bacteria on your hand from touching random crap >.> I guess not as dirty as your floor, but still. And your body is made to deal with foreign invaders anyways

That said, I don't follow it depending on the floor and the food. Like if I know it's a really gross surface that it fell on, I wouldn't eat it. But if it was like a candy or a gummy, I'd eat it anyways. But if it was some mushy, wet stuff, I wouldn't eat it anyways.

Lolz, I always pick up stuff from the floor in my room after I drop it. Like when I'm snacking away on gummy candy or a cookie and I drop it on the floor, I'll eat it. Mine's probably close to 10 seconds at least. Dunno. Not like I really time it!

I depends on what it is and where it drops...
For example if it drops on my floor and hard candy sure...
but i wont eat it if its a steak and drops on the retaruant floor!

yuk i wont eat anything that falls on the floor.
if u could see my room ud know why
kinda depends on floor i guess

I'll eat anything for which the fall has left no visible effects. It's not good to be too fastidious about things like this, your immune system needs practice or it gets weak and may even start misbehaving.

i pick p foods from the kitchen floor so yeah...
but i also don't pick up food and stuff from toilets

well, if the floor is clean and i really like the food that got dropped, then hell yeah, i'd go for it
otherwise, yuck! XP

Well it depends on the food. if i really like it and pick it back up quickly then i'll eat it. but first I inspect it for dirt, hair, ect, if there is any i'll just whipe it off. then eat. not like my stomach can't handle it.

i'll never pick any food up once it's dropped. i'll throw it away even if it's very nice. i rather spend money and buy it again.

Hell, no. Too dirty!

yes and no
yes if its a clean floor which i know well
no if i can see the dust on the floor and/or i pick up the food and see new things clinging to it

depends on food and floor, if i dropped a grape on a wooden floor, ill dst it off and eat it
if i dropped a chicken wing on a dusty surface, dirt, or carpet i wont eat it.

Only if I'm really hungry and have no money to buy new food.

It Depends on the floor and food...if it's my uber clean house than yes, but somewhere else...no.

@___@; Urg never. Maybe... maybe if something dry drops on my clothes but onto the floor? That`s disgusting.

If I drop a potato chip in my room, I'll eat it. On the kitchen floor or outdoors then no.

One time I placed a bowl of popcorn on the keyboard tray of my desk. I accidently nudged the tray and the bowl fell spilling popcorn all over the carpet floor runner. I ate the popcorn then vaccuming the seeds afterwards. I never got sick from eating that popcorn.

I thought it was a 10 second rule. xD

Actually for me it's more like 15 seconds, but who counts it really?
