Do you have a 3 second rule

[low-key]

yes and more like 6-7 seconds, unless of course its my own floor, yuk

 

[Dan Murphy]

Depends, dry or moist.

 

[ZZBane]

It depends on what it is and if I’m at home. My 2 year old loves eating things off the floor though

 

[disneychrista]

Depends where & how it landed and how long ago I moped the floor.

 

[Disneylover99]

It depends on the food and the floor, but I’m generally not skeeved out about those kind of things. When you teach young children, you learn that the gross things you experience on a daily basis, seem almost normal. Lol.

A 3 second rule doesn't work when you have a 1 second dog.

Kiss it up to G-d!

 

[disneychrista]

I would have loved to have been able to use the 3 second rule about 30 minutes ago. BUT apparently I am the only one who thinks to ever sweep the kitchen floor. Half of my box of spaghetti just fell and there was no way I could try to "save" any of it.

 

[Meriweather]

Depends, if it is dry and /or hard then I will pick it up and use it.....but only at my house. Away....nope, everything is thrown out.

 

[PaulaSB12]

No 3 second rule its who gets there first me or the cats!

 

[fla4fun]

Nope. If it goes off my plate onto the counter or table, it gets thrown out, and the floor would definitely be out of the question. I was raised in a household where we didn’t eat after each other (no eating with the same utensils or off the same plate) and we didn’t eat things that had fallen. Some things just stick with you. I will say that we didn’t pass illnesses around, so that was a bonus.

I thought it was a 10 second rule........no wonder I get sick over the years!!!

I think your more likely to get sick by being a germaphobe than eating something that fell on a clean floor/table.

 

[Ellie008]

If something falls on the floor at home - eat it. picnic or something - probably eat it. eating at a restaurant - trash it.

[spiders]

At home...yes.

At work...absolutely not.

 

[mikehn]

No rules for me. I've have all sorta things in my mouth.

Whatever doesn't kill you might just paralyze you instead.

This is a family forum

No rule. I have carpet in the kitchen I haven't removed for tile yet. All the carpet is crap and I walk through with my shoes on often when I am in and out doing something outside.

If I dropped it in the dining room, I would have a fairly lengthy rule, but I don't have a dining room table and am never in there except to put things in cabinets or walking through to the living room, so never drop anything on the linoleum floor. Everywhere else is old dirty worn out carpet including the kitchen and bath.
