5 Second Rule

[enrage]

yesterday evening my girlfriends brother was eating a slice of pizza. He had barely taken a bite and had drop it on the floor. he then picked it up and began eating it. He told that the 5 or 8 second rule was in effect and that the pizza was fine. But then that got me thinking, who actually is credited for coming up with the 5 second rule. "If food is dropped to the ground and if it is picked up within 5 or 8 seconds then it is technically ok to eat"
even though i don't subscribe to that train of thought i was just curious if anyone knew who came up with that lame rule?

it all depends on the situation... and how crazy you are about germs...i have done it ( picked things off the floor and ate them with the same theory) and i am sure everyone else has... but it is an excuse for what you are doing.. when you are by your self do you think of the rule or just when someone is around..?

It also depends on if it lands cheese side up or down. I think the rule only applies to things that can be dusted off.

Thats what I was gonna say. I can see with a cookie or a piece of bread, but not slice of cheesy pizza. Germs and hair probably were all over that thing.
