 Post subject: ? second rulePosted: Thu May 13, 2004 4:23 pm 
so we all know that when you drop food on the floor, there's a time limit to how long it sits before you can no longer pick it up and eat it. Where i come from, its called the 5 second rule. But i've also heard the 3 second rule, and the 2 second rule. Which is it? Is this like a locality thing, where some part of the country do it different (i.e. soda or pop or namebrand) I say it's the 5 second rule, anyone agree? _________________ welcome to the no pants club boone |

10 second... sorry, i'm gross. but thats a personal thing. i mostly hear the 5 second rule at school (eewww-where it should be 0sec) actually, that doesn't apply to everything. if i see it fall into something REALLY gross, I won't pick it up. _________________

It's a 3 second rule ... but I only adhere if the surface is 100 percent clean and the dropped item is a nonsticky thing that can be cleansed ... and thatI'm desperate to eat. But usually .. goes in the trash.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

But usually .. goes in the trash. you're so clean, live a little, build up your immune system. When i was a pup i'd drop food everywhere and pick it right back up and eat it, dirt or no dirt. It was good for me, builds a strong immune system, you just gotta deal with pin worms....ewwwwwwww _________________ welcome to the no pants club boone |

Under normal circumstances it is 5 seconds. But there are some places this time can be extended, and some places where once food hits the ground...it's gone. _________________ Audioscrobbler Now

depending on where the food was.... 3 1/2 month rule 
i went to mcdonald's and got two apple pies. i only ate one, and put the other in my purse to eat later that day. it sat there for two months, and then when i was at Razzoo's with my mom she said, "will you eat a piece o' dee pie?" and i said, "yeah" and i took a little piece of it and ate it. it didn't taste too bad! i was finally persuaded to take out the pie after 3 1/2 months  i miss it.
The End. (otherwise, as noted on will & grace, the three second rule) _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

I once ate some snackwells out of my desk when I worked at the Kilgore News Herald as the fill-in sports guy. They were at least a year or two old. They were packaged, and I was bored, so I ate them. The caramel had returned to a sugary state, but they were fairly tasty. If I have freak babies, I might regret it some day. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Something terrible happened to me the other day. It's painfull to recap. Well I was with some kids from my church and one boy had Mike 'n Ikes. They are a splendid candy, as I'm sure most of you know. Well he was dropping some on the floor and Hwin and I were picking them up (quickly) to eat. I saw one drop as I was staring at the floor. I snatched it and popped it in only to find it was already wet. Yes, it had dropped from his mouth. GROSS!!!! _________________ La la la la dum dee dum dum |
