Title says it all.
Whenever.

that depends. cheesecake is immediate unless it's on the night stand. I keep tacos on the floor next to the bed so I can wake up and have some floor tacos. I keep chocolate pudding in a zip-lock bag in the night stand. I used to keep it in bed with me, but my wife hated that and I rolled over on the bag once. looked like I sprayed crap in the bed. I ate it anyway since it wasn't on the floor. I keep scrambled eggs in my pillow case. if those touch the floor, I give myself 10 minutes on those. pancakes go in my pajamas, but not waffles. that's just floccing gross! I keep the waffles under my wife's pillow and a baggie of syrup and butter in her pillow case. I also have burritos on the nightstand since it's okay if those hit the floor. then I have floor burritos. sometimes I throw them on the floor just so I can have floor burritos. the Little Debbie Swiss Rolls go under the mattress. I like having 8-12 of them squished at any given time. I keep pickled eggs in the water tank on our toilet. my wife doesn't know about that though, so don't tell her. I hide crispy bacon all over the house. in our dresser drawers, the closet, the pockets of coats I haven't worn in years, in an old pair of work boots, in our kids' closets, under the couch, in the laundry room, taped to the back of my computer monitor, etc.


whut were we talking about again? I have to go stuff some doughnuts with M & Ms.

ever seen a cheesecake with a peel?

As far as food safety, there is no "5-second rule". As far as common sense goes, well, that's up to you.

What about food I fling at the wall? Those surfaces are cleaner than the floor, so I feel entitled to use a 30 second rule, instead of 5. If I throw it hard enough it will actually stay on the wall for 30 seconds, sometimes much longer. Which is kind of handy when I run out of room in the fridge. I haven't tried the ceiling yet, but that's on my to-do list for this weekend.

If I sanitize my walls with Starsan can I wait longer and it still be OK?

Didn't I stop over?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

we had an issue at work not long ago about the cleanliness of our floors. everyone's pretty good about cleaning their work areas at the end of the day (except night shift). the a-hole that used to be in charge of our shop butted in with, "This building is only a year old. You should be able to eat off the floor." I responded instantly with, "You first, flocc face." and only got a blank stare in return.

 

[Zuljin]

ever seen a cheesecake with a peel?

Yes. Now what?

I have cleaned my floors with Starsan.

Great timing. Needed that lol

That puts the "p" in Pikachu...

 

[drainbamage]

Yeah, I'd give it the full 5 seconds.

Wait, whut?

 

[ChuckO]

The problem in our household is the dog. She can hear something starting to drop, so she is there in less than the 5 seconds. Basically it's OK to eat if you can get to it before the dog.

 

[ChelisHubby]

The five second rule starts after I swallow. No problem my wife keeps the floor cleaner than anyone I have met with daily mop pings and constant cursing of my presence!

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

Truth of the matter is the 5 second rule doesn't matter. If there's bacteria on the floor it's on the food basically the second it hits the ground. That being said, I've eaten food off the ground many times, my general rule is if it's foreign object free, it's OK with me.

 

[Homercidal]

The 5 second rules is: There is not 5 second rule.
