MDH Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The counter was the dirtiest area - I don't even consider that part of the 5 second rule. If something hits the counter it's no big deal. But according to this you're better off with the food dropping on the tiled floor of your kitchen than you are the kitchen counter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Lol, the problem I see with this study is who is funding it. Clorox...hmmmm Secondly, baby carrots tend to be wet, I wouldnt eat that off the floor after 5 seconds. I would like to see this with something that is dry. Not sure if it was done in mythbusters.

Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Did they blow on it first before the tested it? Because if they didn't the study it terribly flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
