If it's on the floor for less than five seconds, it's still sane to eat it.

Yes, but does this rule apply, say in a school halway?

It's not really anything. There isn't any 5 second rule, it's kind of like a joke. You can make up anything you want that could take 5 seconds like safmoor did. It's sorta like saying
.... Does the rabbit enjoy his copulating 5 seconds. Safmoor's is funny. It's a conversation starter. Maybe

No, I didn't make that up, what's often known as the five second rule is when food is on the ground for less than five seconds. I'm usually not that funny on TDN. I can be funny in heat of the moment when you're talking, but that's probably the same with everyone.

Yes. It's 'real' in that Drake didn't make it up, and it is quasi-common knowledge. There has also been a study on it, which doesn't support it.
