    Ok... If your eating something and you drop it on the floor, by the ten second rule it's ok to eat it if you pick it up before you count to ten. I think it should be law. Anyone else follow the ten second rule?

    Does the 10 second rule just apply to food?

    Why does it have to apply to only food?

    If you dip your finger into a vat of acid, is it any safer at 10 seconds, than it would be at 3, or 4, or 20 ?

    Because if I drop a CD for 10 minutes and it still plays I'm going to keep it.

    No, it's not any safer at 3, 4, or 20. But if I drop a cookie and leave it for 25 years before I eat it's a lot more dangerous than 10 seconds. I gotta draw the line somewhere. Why not ten? It's a nice round number.

    Are you telling me that you are such a slob that a cookie would lay in your floor for 25 years before you would notice it?

    Actually, it's been proven that the amount of germs picked up from the ground by dry food increases only slightly between 0 minutes and 5 hours.
