Funny thing, I actually did run into my prom date at a 35th reunion! She lost her puppy fat and turned into a fox.

it goes like this...
child #1 drops the pacifier, you quickly retrieve and
sanitize before returning it to the baby
child #2 drops the pacifier, you wipe it off on your
shirt and return it to the baby
child #3 drops the pacifier, you let the dog lick it
and you pop ‘er back in
btw, our pooch always smothers patton with kisses
and i still kiss my guy. ;)

The Mythbusters did the study, long before this goofy article. Food is easily contaminated when it touches anything, so don’t eat it unless you are an otter and wash everything beforehand.

I ate dirt when I was a kid and am still alive to type this. Imagine that! (Though I did have my tonsils yanked at 5 years old, and remember that too! But never had strep throat since.. imagine that!)

Unless I drop it on a pile of dog poop (or the equivalent) I pick it up and eat it. If there is dirt or grass on it I brush it off or blow it off. I never got sick that I know of.
I wouldn’t eat the ice cream cone dropped in dirt unless I had a way off gettint the dirt off. I don’t like eating gritty stuff or stuff with rocks in it.
I once dropped a hot dog at a beach part and brushed it off. I missed a pebble and cracked a tooth.

The rule was if you could pick it up before a dog got it, it was safe to eat. ROTFLO! We're going to start using that rule at our house. We have a lab who is a chow hound. If we can beat him to it, it will have barely touched down!

Agreed. A dropped cookie or cracker is one thing. Anything sticky or moist gets chucked.
That said, I had a cat who would steal the ham out of my sandwiches and who guzzled milk right out of my glass and had to be told to share if I wanted any. I drank after him essentially every meal and never ended up sick from it.

I have a kitty who has been having respiratory problems. Thinking about starting him on whiskey, for medicinal purposes of course.

I'd rather be French-kissed by a human being than a dog any day. "Certain human beings, that is. I don't want to leave the impression I'm easy." 
Ooooo...Come and give mama some sugar....

Actually the question is,”Is that the last piece of balogna for the next 100 miles? Should I eat it or should I suck rocks? Doh. EAT IT.
