I don't know how many of you know of the 5-second rule-but here goes. If something(food, for example) should fall on the floor(of course the floor is relatively clean & it is at my own home) I don't worry & freak out if my DD baby picks it up and eats it. Of course I would rather her not, but it's not like she's eating bugs.
On my recent trip to WDW I witnessed someone who obviously uses the 5-second rule in public places-Pecos Bill at Magic Kingdom.
It was a large family so they needed several tables. A little girl about 5 dropped her hotdog. Grandma sees the hot dog fall-gets up from her table walks over to where the girl is sitting with her dad and scoops the hot dog up with a napkin. Grandma wipes the dog with the napkin and hands it to dad. Dad gets another napkin wipes it and picks something off the hot dog and hands it back to the girl. The girl eats it.
Needless to say I just about lost my entire lunch that I had just consumed-including the chocolate cream pie.
I mentioned this incident to several family members of mine and they all agreed-the 5-second rule does not apply in public places.
