Monty by Jim Meddick for December 14, 2011
Transcript:
Woman: We're testing the "5-second rule"... if dropped food is picked up within five seconds, it won't accumulate germs... when I say "now," drop your fig bars on the restroom tiles. OK... now! OK! Quickly pick up and start eating! Woman: That seemed a tad long... I was counting one one thousand, two one thousand... Woman: OK, I see the problem... the second is glitchy... I bet the battery's low...

Five second rule only applies to dry surfaces in an area where eating is normal, OR… it is unlikely to pic up feces or urine!!

While there will be substantially more germs on something the longer it lies on a contaminated surface, 5 seconds is still enough time to collect enough germs to make you sick.
