5 second rule

Depends on who I'm serving it to and who saw it hit the floor.

My dogs are the reason my kitchen floor is so clean. They now the drill too. They aren't allowed in the kitchen except for cleanup. During food prep, or when I am just knawing on stuff out of tupperware in front of the fridge, anything that falls gets a snapped finger and a piont. The mutts run onto the kitchen, clean it up, and then walk back out of the kitchen.

You have just described our cats. The dogs get cleaning detail after dinner and will find anything the cats didn't/wouldn't eat.

That's it......My Goldens are getting new names.

I called my Rot Stew for years... but it was short for StewPud.

He liked to chew power wires.

The 5 second rule is definitely variable. Life position attained is also taken into account on the allowable time - it's much longer when you're in college, and when you're married and under supervision, it's very short.

I used to eat dirt directly when I was a kid. What's the difference?

You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die, as the old saying goes... of course many hear will twist the saying to include dirty pec... well you know what I mean.

Mythbusters episode 39 already did this. It it just a stupid thing to say to make you feel better about eating food off the floor. I do it usually, I read fast food nation, my floor can't be any worse than the places the food came from to begin with!
