I believe that would be accurate, yes.

I was once walking in the school playground with my friend Russell. A solitary quaver blew in front of us.

He bent down, picked it up, and ate it. Didn’t even cross his mind not to. Was genuinely perplexed when I pulled a face.

Depends on the food/where I dropped it/if I was in good company

This evoked a proper belly laugh from me :grinning:

My mate did similar at uni. Dropped his pizza in the back yard as we staggered back from a night out. Some of it fell out of the box, but he just shoved it all back in the box and put it all down his neck. Surprised he didn’t break a tooth on a bit of gravel or something.

A boyfriend did that with a pizza… he dropped it top down onto my kitchen floor. We had dogs, there was dog hair in it… he insisted on sitting there and picking hairs out of it. WHAT THE FUCK.

EDIT: … I know I’m not one to talk but still…

I’m not sure if my mate would’ve thought to inspect the pizza for debris while sober tbh, never mind after a night of cheap beer.

Well, my ex bf was totally sober so that’s maybe why he did :unamused:

Which one?

A dropped burrito would be quite a scene, man. You’d have to eat it off the ground with a fork.

I probably wouldnt. Probably.

they did a thing on television about this the other day. basically doesn’t matter if it’s 5 seconds or a 10 minutes, all about where it’s dropped

or something

Just cut off the bit that hasn’t touched the floor

@marckee joins me in the seven seconds club! Guess that means I’ve got the heft of google on my side.

The one with the anecdote in (none of those obviously).

I can’t even recall if it was related on this new forum.

Basically someone on here was working and then realised their colleague was melting down over something and was bringing their whole office to a halt over how bad it was, resulting in people deciding they’d better go home early. However, she was losing it because she’d discovered the X second rule wasn’t a real noted scientific rule. That’s about all I recall. It was a beautiful example of the way stuff gets people completely panicked for no reason.

To my shame, in my younger days, I have come across crisps without provenance and eaten them…I think I was trying to…impress the people I was with? Shit we do to be liked! Though judging from your reaction, I probably didn’t succeed! :cry:

Depends where it is. If it’s outside, then no. I recently dropped a box of tomatoes in the kitchen and put them back in the box or in the bin depending on where they’d fallen - not eating stuff that’s rolled under the fridge!

Hate to tell you this but most veg is grown on the floor guys

what about when you find a Starburst somewhere? it’s still in its wrapper, so it’s obviously fine!

depends on how clean the floor is. end of debate.

I remember this, and it was brilliant.
