5-Second Rule - If u drop it

This is amazing result - If You Drop It, Should You Eat It? Scientists Weigh In on the 5-Second Rule u can eat it.

A little history to it:
According to Clarke, a senior at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, the 5-second rule dates back to the time of Genghis Khan, who first determined how long it was safe for food to remain on a floor when dropped there. Khan had slightly lower standards, however; he specified 12 hours, more or less

Among Clarke's findings more intresting are here:

--Women are more likely than men to eat food that's been on the floor.

--Cookies and candy are much more likely to be picked up and eaten than cauliflower or broccoli.
