No, if it drops on the floor, it goes in the trash.
ReplyDeletefloor = trash
ReplyDeletewhat?! all this time i thought it was a 5 minute rule! =)
ReplyDeleteonly if my wife and kids are around. if i'm home alone, as long as i can beat my dog to it, it's mine...
ReplyDeletedepends on what falls, and sometimes what surface it falls on. anything that falls outside is trash.
ReplyDeleteMythbusters did a show on the 5 second rule. it was quite interesting. http://www.yourdiscovery.com/video/mythbusters-five-second-rule/
Most people wouldnt know they cross contaminated their food if you hit them over the head with it. I dont let anyone prepare my food.
ReplyDeletesure do if Im home....... If Im out and about its to the trash.
ReplyDeleteall the time

ReplyDeleteYes....as I say god bless these germs. It's good for the immune system.
LOL only at home only certain items.Its not really a big deal cuz I keep my floors clean.However,I wouldnt do it to something anyone besides me was eating.Thats not right.
ReplyDeleteI've always heard you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die. Yes, we use the 5 second rule but only at home.

ReplyDeleteAlmost anything is cleaner than a restaurant kitchen.
Have you ever been in one during dinner?
Have you seen it?
Truth is, that if you really know what is in the food you eat every day, you'd probably get sick thinking about it.
5:08 Yes and Yes.
ReplyDeleteI know what I eat because I grow it and I make it.
11:23 Most people wouldn't know they cross contaminated their food if you hit them over the head with it. I don't let anyone prepare my food.And 5:53 I know what I eat because I grow it and I make it.
ReplyDeleteSo you both are saying you never ever eat outside of your own home? You have never been to a BBQ at a friend or family members house?
I am talking more on the lines of what happens in the processing environment. The processing environment is nasty. And yes, I eat out and go to BBQ's. I know the breadman who goes to several establishments and he knows first hand who the dirty vs. cleans ones are. As far as the BBQ's go, I only eat the foods that I know who the person was that prepared them and I know what their kitchen is like.
ReplyDeleteA little dirt never hurts, but when you have kitchens that are not scrubbed down correctly or employees who scratch go to the bathroom and then forget to wash their hands.....well the thought makes you want to stay home and eat.
Personally, I love my big gulps and happy meals.
