I generally go with more of a 8-10 hour rule.
people have been following the three/five/seven second rule for centuries. no proof anyone has ever died from it.
if something is dropped in a barnyard or a dung heap or at a Democrat party hq (but I repeat myself) then don’t eat it.
otherwise, you’re good.
who actually believed this?
I tried that steam cleaning and all the wallpaper rolled up.
There are people starving in.... Wait.. mmm
Venezuela because of the beeb’n socialists.
I prefer the smell test myself.
If my dog is in the house - I ain’t got no 3 seconds.

People’s obsession with avoiding all forms of germs, is causing all of our problems.
The immune system is like a muscle, use it or lose it.
I don’t care how long its on the floor or the table in Britain, its not fit to eat anyway.
If you don’t have bacteria in your body, I hate to tell you, you’re dead.
On the other hand, I often see articles saying we are too clean nowadays. We wash our hands so often, so thoroughly, enough to strip away the ‘good bacteria’ that should be there.
I know of people who eat yogurt specifically to replace the ‘good bacteria’ in their stomachs that will aid peristalsis, or food breakdown of digestion.
Meh. . Confuseious say:
Many a drop is spilt,
Twixt the cup & the lip. :o)
An unpeeled banana can go as long as 30 seconds.
Friend who served in Afghanistan said the rule for American soldiers there is if it leaves your plate you do not eat it. Lots of serious diseases are common there.
I remember “Kissing it up to God” when I was a kid. LOL
We’re all going to DIE!
