five second rule debate
A topic worth discusion:The five second rule.Is this rule universal, or are there specific situations where it does not apply? You tell me.
If it's on the floor for less than five seconds, it's still sane to eat it.
Allow me to summarize for everybody: What the heck is it?
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.
Uhh, You're saying there's a real 5 second rule for food on the floor that can still be Eaten??
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.
