LOL The five-second rule is a popular old wives' tale, and common rule among many people today, regarding the eating of food that has been dropped on the ground. In many areas it is known as the three-second rule, seven-second rule, eight-second rule, or ten-second rule
I think Discovery actually did a programme on this and proved that actually food being in contact with bacteria for only two seconds was contaminated!

No, but I know that in a recent scientific study it was proven that it is irrelevant the length that food stays on the ground, the same amount of bacteria is transferred in half a second as in 10.

I think this is completely false but I HEARD that jews made it up because they didn't want to waste food. Again, I only HEARD it, I'm not racist (or whatever you say for people's religion)
