    I don’t get it.

    Can someone explain what I’m looking at?

    What is the “Five Second Rule”?

    What does this have to do with eating potato (or corn?)chips?

    Simply put if food is on the floor five seconds or less its safe to pick it up and eat it cause it has not had time to become “dirty or germy”…. Thus the five second rule. Not sure when it was invented, but it came into more public light in the movie osmosis Jones when bill murays character picked up a Hard bolied egg from the fecal pile of a monkey or some such criter in a zoo and ate it, and the animated part of the movie began.

    No such thing as a 5 second rule when you have a dog or two in the house.

    it actually STARTED as the 10 second rule, but it was pets that turned it into the 5 second rule…

    Unfortunately, the 5-Second Rule has been disproved. I think Mythbusters tackled it a while back and, more recently, it came up on the Food Network’s “Food Detectives”. They scientifically proved that the 5-Second Rule does not work, especially for wet, porous, or oily foods. Chips fall into that latter category. If you drop a fried chip on the floor, it will pick up germs immediately. Eat it at your own risk.

    that is a brilliant explanation. Wiley is a genious.
    I’ve actually heard (and used) 2sec, 5 sec, 8sec and 10sec rules… just depends on how fast you pick it up, and how much you want to eat it…
