Default 10 Second Rule

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 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.
