5 Second Rule

Ever since that episode of Mythbusters came on where they tested the 5 second rule, I've used my sister as the authority on this. She used to work in a kitchen, so she's the expert; right?

So once in a while I'll text her with something stupid like,

"Toasted bagel... Cream cheese side up. 5 second rule?"

And she will say, "eat it."

And you know I do; it's a ruling.

Come to think of it... She's never told me to NOT eat something off the floor.

... Goddammit.
