Is there really a five-second rule about food on the floor?

When you drop a piece of food on the floor, is it really OK to eat if you pick up within five seconds? This urban food myth contends that if food spends just a few seconds on the floor, dirt and germs won't have much of a chance to contaminate it.

This is silly - I've ate a LOT of stuff I dropped - not just on the floor, but in the dirt, elsewhere - I ate it - I'm 53 and still here - so that's my litmus test. Not what some silly article says!

I exercised that rule just this morning. (I know. Just thought I'd bump this to the top.)
