Couple hours ago i read about this "5 Second Theory"
According to this theory if you drop something (Eatables) and pick them up within 5 seconds they are good enough to eat no matter what
what do you lads think about this, could that be true ?
what makes it hazardous at the 6th second or the whole theory is a myth ?

I saw this video when Michael put it up. The 5 second rule is not valid.

Use common sense to judge if it's still edible. The 5 second rule is bullshit, however when it's been laying there for hours I wouldn't eat it.

Depends how clean the floor is, and what type of floor. Also depends what food it is. Most of the time you will be fine, it's just a case of how disguising you find it...

I have a 1 millisecond rule. I never eat anything that's been on the floor even for a nanosecond. All the dust and dirt and dead skin and mud and shit from your shoes is all over the floor - I'd rather not eat a shit-smeared banana.
Even if the floor was freshly-laid and never stood on, and was wiped with disinfectant, I wouldn't eat off it.
