    Nothing. As soon as it hits the floor, it’s poisonous and might kill me

    Nothing. I don’t do that but honestly nothing. There is no 5 second rule for me

    A three course meal followed by cheese and biscuits. The soup starter was tricky but it got easier after that.

    Probably one of my meds. Sometimes I’ll pick it up and put it back in the bottle and shake so I’m never completely sure and it buffs the 5 second rule.

    A chip but it took me a while to grab it so I had to change it to the 10 second rule.

    Being handicapped there’s hardly any thing I can pick up in 5 seconds. But if one of my pills falls on the floor and we can find it. I have no issues taking it.

    Toast, butter side down with peanut butter (whole earth crunchy) so there was no way of knowing any difference. . . . Lucky I only dropped it in my garden.

    For me…it’s more “will I drink my fresh cup of coffee after the dog has had his tongue in it”? My younger dog is very adept about getting up on the table and drinking my coffee the minute I walk away from the table😂😂😂😂Dog’s mouth’s are germ ridden pestilence breeders of whatever that last thing they licked…you know what I mean😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

    It was about an hour ago. It was a gummy bear. A red one. It was not going to waste. I didn’t even know I dropped it.

    5 second rule???? At my house, the floor is lava. So anything that falls on it immediately gets the bacteria cooked off.

    Cheese curd! Gold right there, I’d even eat it after TEN seconds!

    Green pepper. It landed on the waxy outside so I just gave it a bath and then chopped it up with the other veggies. Otherwise if food falls on the floor I won’t eat it, and I never have.

    I think a chip or cracker. Give it a quick blow, good to go

    I have no children but my sister who appears to be a normal human being with a normal amount of intelligence and whose child has now grown and moved out without suffering any apparent ill effects, my sister believes that the 5-second rule is real.

    I finally asked her one day whether she would eat something that fell into bird droppings as long as she picked it up within 5 seconds.

    We haven’t discussed it since.

    She may still be pondering the mystery.

    Was playing basketball and someone’s girlfriend dropped their snow cone on the outdoor public court. She started scooping it up saying “5 second rule!”. He had to throw it away so she wouldn’t eat it. Must’ve been a good snow cone because damn.

    My migraine pill 💊 I only get 9 per month!!! I accidentally lost one when I knocked it in the sink, and it dissolved. I was definitely picking the other one up off the floor, after 5 seconds or 5 minutes!

    Once I dropped a scoop of ice cream, picked it up in my hand, scraped the bottom bit off, and ate it like an apple.

    I put a piece of chocolate in my mouth, but was bending over to pick up a bit of wrapper which fell on the floor, so because I’m an idiot of course the chocolate also fell out of my mouth. The now-slightly-mouth-wet chocolate, onto the dusty floor. But it was the last piece in the house, so I did what had to be done.

    When I was fat, I once bought a Big Az Burger from a vending machine. As I pulled it out of the wrapper, it slipped right outta my hands like it was trying to escape its fate. I picked it up, gave it the ol’ five-second blessing, and took a big, proud bite — because at that point, dignity was way lower on the priority list than lunch.

    A mini pizza. It fell of my plate but miraculously didn’t land face down on the rug. Now, I know that my dog walks on this rug and that she steps in all manner of gross stuff, including other dog poop… but I brushed off the bottom of the crust and ate it anyway because I was soooo looking forward to eating the pizza.

    I was BBQ today and a piece of meat fall on the floor picked it up and onto the grill.
