The USA TODAY ran one of their infographics today, showing how America responded to "Do you eat food dropped on the floor?"
More people were cautious about it than I would have expected.
10% admitted to following a three-second rule
8% were cool with a five-second rule
4% thought a ten-second rule was fair game
...but an overwhelming 78% said food on the floor was simply not safe.
Wimps. (Note: I'm a fan of the ten second rule if the floor looks clean and you blow on the food a little. I would NOT eat food off our kitchen floor, as that would be hazordous to my health.)

Personally, I think that food which even thinks about touching the floor in your kitchen automatically becomes deadly.

1-, 20, 3500000 its all the same to me
10, 20, 3500000 its all the same to me
Depending on the floor, I go with the 5 second rule. There are some floors that I don't even want to walk on barefoot, much less eat off of.
