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.

SP5 Mark Kuzinski scientifically I think it has been proven false. Realistically, it depends on what was dropped. If I drop a steak, that bastard is getting picked up. If I drop a pickle, well that is why I have dogs.
