i don't know, but the 5 second rule NEVER applies. the show Mythbusters aired an episode based solely on the 5 second rule... the conclussion: never eat food off the floor or ground..
there are still tiny micro organisms still living even after cleaning. better safe than sorry....

The 5 second rule came from 2 kindergarden teachers in California who didn't want there students eating from the floor. It started in 1967. When the 2 teachers started it it only took about a year before it spread to the rest of the world.

I don't know where it originated, but Mythbusters, the show on the discovery channel busted the myth that food is OK if eaten within5 seconds of touching a yucky surface.
