Who believes in the 5 second rule?

well, personally i think that you have waaaay too much spare time lol : p nah but i dont really believe in it because i wouldnt eat ANYTHING if it falls on the floor but i am a bit ocd about germs etc. so i mean eating something thats been on the floor is a big no no for me!

I saw some research on it recently. Don't recall where. It didn't make a big impression on me, it had something to do with with the toxic levels of bacteria on surfaces in the kitchen. There was some note about certain things could be there for 30 seconds. Hell, it takes me 30 seconds to get to the floor these days.

i believe in it but only if something falls in a house. School or outside is just gross, even if it is on the ground for only 5 seconds. =P

So is this question in psychology because only deeply disturbed individuals eat off the floor?

maybe. well if something falls in the house, then it can be really disgusting to pick it up and eat it. but outside on the grass, then its nothing to me. I eat that thing.

what's that rule??

nope. heres why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1z6OCRJVks
