Do my parents know about the 5 Second Rule? I learned it in school. Who taught these kids who taught me?
Do you know about the 5 Second Rule?
Thank you 🙂
Yes. If it falls on the floor, as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds, you can still eat it.
It’s of no medical benefit.
(That is, bacteria doesn’t need 5 seconds to get onto your food.)
DY: Who taught you the rule, and/or where did you first hear about it?
I think it was part of a lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was a baby.
I hope you all know that they changed the rule to the 8-day-rule.
Kind of like similar to a bris milah.
Except please don’t drop the baby on the floorIf food fell to the floor in the CTL household, one of our dogs would be eating it long before 5 seconds elapsed.
What breed is best at eating floor food?
I actually read that they did a study scientifically disproving the rule.
Personally, I think the study was a waste of time. All they had to do was ask me.
I read this in an article (probably on Aish.com) explaining how the same concept applies to Ruchnius; You shouldn’t think that if you flip the page or log off as soon as something inappropriate comes on, that you weren’t affected by that split second.
Mothers of kids under age 10 with no patience or energy to deal with it..
I was with a friend once when her rolls fell on the ground OUTSIDE for a second, and she picked them up and put them back in her bag to feed her family, saying they won’t know the difference, and she may have even said something about the 5 second rule.
“LU: Good point on the Ruchnius… thank you for sharing… truth 🙂”
YW 🙂
