I finally proved the '5 second rule' wrong in the grossest way
Dropped a piece of toast on my kitchen floor in Portland last Tuesday and grabbed it in under 3 seconds, but it still had a cat hair and some dust stuck to the butter side. Has anyone else had this backfire and still eaten it anyway?

Wait, did you actually eat it anyway? Because I gotta say, I've been there and done that way more times than I care to admit. I mean, it's toast, it's buttered, and three seconds is basically nothing, right? But that cat hair and dust combo is a real bummer. I once picked a chip off the floor and ate it, then found a piece of dog kibble stuck to it. Idk why we convince ourselves those few seconds make any difference. Maybe it's just me but I think the real lesson is that floors are always grosser than we want to believe.

Oh man, I've totally been there too... that's just way too relatable.

Three seconds is the food version of "I'll start my diet tomorrow.
