I remember back when I was a kid because of my clumsiness I always find myself dropping my food or meal on the ground and my tita would then tell me to pick it up wala pa daw 5 minutes.
There were instances that it happened in front of my friends or colleagues that because the food was kind of expensive I was tempted to pick it and eat it as if it never touched the surface.
But then again it was just an attempt (*smiling*) that didn’t happen. (Liar) Hahaha
According to the article bacteria will need more time to contaminate the dropped food and guess what instead of the 5 second rule people can wait long up to 30 seconds and more than 30 days I mean seconds for dry.
I wish I should have known this all along para hindi nasayang ung Mars Chocolate Bar na natapon sa elevator, ung Hershys Special Dark Chocolate ng Krispy Kreme na nahulog ko sa sahig kung san nag labor ung pusa naming si Ming-ming..(sigh)
