5 second rule? DISGUSTING!! We use the much more sanitary 3 second rule. How wasteful… I'm a fan of the 5-minute rule.

Is the mythical "five-second rule" actually real? In connection with the "kiss it up to God" corollary, yes.

The timeframe varies depending on location. My maternal grandmother kept her kitchen floor such that a person could have safely let a half an hour elapse; my paternal grandmother's kitchen floor would have been five seconds or less, and the lunch room at work would be "don't even think about it." In the case of the latter, sometimes I'm afraid to even let the air in the room touch my food.

The problem is that food might not survive five seconds on the floor with the source of the dog hair around. One... Two... Crunch!

if you have two dogs in the house, its unlikely dropped food will hit the floor and if it does it will be immediately scarfed up n microseconds by the pets-unless its bananas.

i agree that childern who aren’t “hovered over” and eat some dirt and stuff gain some immunities and are less likely to develop allergies.
also the 5 second rule is proportional to the cost of the food dropped. truffles and saaffron can stay on the ground much longer. saffron, for example, is $2400+ a pound so it can safely stay on the floor for hours.

When we had our dogs, five seconds would have been an eternity, they’d have already inhaled whatever it may have been.

That’s what my mother always used to tell me my kitchen would look like. Sorry to have disappointed her, but my kitchen’s always been spic ‘n span.
