Do you abide by it?

After Myth Busters, if any food touches the floor, it gets tossed in the trash.

I have a 5 second rule. Unless it's something really delicious... I'm such a scumbag.

I won't eat anything off the floor ever. I have a phobia of getting ill, yet it happens all the time :( Stresses me just thinking about it.

I dont eat any of it.

But the pavement outside your house is like 10 times cleaner than a carpet.

I wouldnt eat or cook anything that had been on the floor ( providing I know about it lol) Did anyone see rogue restaurants, this was mentioned on there and shown in a number of kitchens to be the norm!! kind of puts you off eating off.

If food falls on the floor it goes straight into the bin. Even tho my floor is clean I still couldnt eat it :yuk:

It depends which floor it is.

Oh give it a wipe and it's fine, though obviously it depends what food it is.
