Years ago, I was making sandwiches for a baby shower and the entire stack of sandwiches crashed to the floor minutes before I needed to leave. I didn't have any indoor pets at the time, so I didn't even have to perform step 2 of the 5-second rule! I did give them a quick look-over anyway, packed them up, and never let the cat out of the bag about my little mishap once I got to the party.:) I am a firm believer in the 5-second rule; just check for doggy hairs first!

So yes, we do use the 5 seconds rule. If it's something the kids really like, they don't care how long it is on the floor. If it's wet, that is just gross and it goes in the trash.

We walked through the mall while eating our ice-creams. My son and I were finished ours when my daughter dropped hers on the mall floor. My son scooped it up and declared it fit to eat! "5 second rule" he said. He is 15. LOL I was horrified at this and slapped it back out of his hand just as he was going to pop it into his mouth!
