The 5-second rule is the most popular among all these bogus health facts. It suggests that if you pick something of the floor 5 seconds after you dropped it, you can still eat it. The truth is that bacteria can infect food in milliseconds. But while dry food takes longer to attract bacteria than moist food, it all comes down to how clean the floor is.
