Ok Im eating a kit kat and I drop half of one

I almolst died. Half of a kit kat!! I had 3 left but Im not optimistic about my sweets

I didnt pick it up and eat it cuz its chocolate and there's probably some unseen particles on it, so I threw it away.

But if it was a skittle or a fry I probably would have ate it.
ANd....I never eat anything I drop in public...yuck. I saw a coworker eat a chip he dropped in the staff room


so tell me what u would eat or wouldnt if u dropped it on the floor

... it depends how bad I want it.

Hello ThreadCula.

i would if it's on my floor and my floor is freshly mopped. when i was little i used to kiss my candy up to God when i dropped it outside. i really thought it was clean after that. not now.

If I actually saw something on it I wouldnt eat it
...especially caked dirt

it depends but usually, sure...my floors are clean. i just kiss it up to god and go about my business.

what about, in the loo but missing the shit?

The only time i ate anything off the floor was when i dropped an asprin and i was suffering from such a migraine, I picked it up, kissed it to god and took it anyway...

NO way

Not likely!! Though if i am truly dissapointed i lost dat peice of whatever-it-is and it was on a clean surrounding at home...then juuust maybe- but i've gotta really really be wantin it datz 4 sure!!

i like this thread.

I have never heard of kissing it up to God--we always went by the three second rule--under 3 sec. and it is still good. Of course, that is how long it takes for the dog or cat to get to it!

(cept chocolate of course)

bluesbaby said:

me neither!!!

I think if I dropped something on my own floor and it didn't have anything I could see on it I would but I'd never eat something i dropped out in public (caveat: unless really really drunk).

Only in large crowds.



(Folks really seem to like it.)

bluesbaby said:

Yes, 3-second rule, for sure. Are you Australian?

ThreadCula said:

That's disgusting. I would never eat something I dropped
on the floor. Most likely not even if I dropped it in my own
home.

You could never possibly be so hungry and so in need of a
piece of food or a sweet that you'd risk the intake of many
germs and bacteria off the floor for it.

However, I do like to save the candy I drop on the floor
in a special bag and hand it out to people I hate.

I offer them a sweet whilst in my mind I envision:

There was a recent study done on the "five-minute rule" of dropping food on the floor. It concluded that it was pretty safe to eat anything off the floor within five minutes of dropping it, as floors are cleaner than we think they are, and generally any particles that attach themselves to the food are harmless. I guess it's just a matter of doing it in public or not.

Considering, I eat take out 75% of the time, I'm sure I have unknowingly.

Oh, I dropped a red M&M while replying to this thread, just so you know I ate it!!!

If I'm not logged in tomorrow by this time, I'm probably dead.

yea!!! I think M&m's are safe...because of the shell
well... I hope u dont die

Somebody! calllll a .,mnj.jjjjj

emm said:

Me either! I was just gonna ask about that. How do you kiss a piece of food up to God?

In any case, it depends on what the food is, where it's dropped and how long it's been on the floor. If it's like a piece of candy or a raw vegetable and it's dropped on my own floor or the floor of a friend I know to be generally clean and I pick it up right away after it's dropped and inspect it I usually call it good to go. If I find it laying there way later, or its on the concrete outside of First Ave, or it's a bite of tuna salad or something, then I throw it away.
