I generally go with more of a 8-10 hour rule.
To: Red Badger
people have been following the three/five/seven second rule for centuries. no proof anyone has ever died from it.
if something is dropped in a barnyard or a dung heap or at a Democrat party hq (but I repeat myself) then don’t eat it.
otherwise, you’re good.

No one actually believes in the “3 second rule,” we just say it to make ourselves feel better about eating something off the floor.
Silly.

Yes, my dog will get it before it ever reaches the floor!.........................

I always thought it was a joke. I guess it’s good that we lucked out and had a bunch of “researchers” do a “study” about it. We just can’t have too many “studies”.

People’s obsession with avoiding all forms of germs, is causing all of our problems.
The immune system is like a muscle, use it or lose it.

I prefer the color test, if it ain’t green or blue, it’s edible.

I generally go with more of a 8-10 hour rule.Doesn't register with me until I see mold forming. If I catch it early enough, I'll scrape off the mold and nuke it in the microwave for a minute.
I'll be 62 in May. I'll make an exception for moldy bread, though. If the mold is larger than a penny, it's gone.

The time of the rule (3,5, or 10) is dependent on the speed of the dog. Never had anything to do with germs.
