Warning: The 5-Second Rule is not for the faint of heart.

When you drop food on the floor, do you pick it up or risk the wrath of your significant other?

That's the 5-Second Rule. Don't lie, you know it's true.

This page is for those who dare to take the risk.

But seriously, it's just about risk management, folks.

Learn the basics or push the envelope.

Standard

For the masses, the 5-Second Rule is simple:

  1. Pick it up in 5 seconds or less
  2. Or you're a monster

It's not for the faint of heart, but it's a start.

Advanced

For the bold, the 5-Second Rule is an art form:

  1. Assess the risk of contamination
  2. Weigh the consequences
  3. Act quickly, but not too quickly

It's not just about food, it's about life.
