The Five Second Rule

Hey guys! So today I'm gonna blog about an article that I read in the Upfront Magazine about the five second rule; obviously. Students at Aston University in England, tested on how fast bacteria gets on food  dropped on 3 different surfaces. I was actually surprised that on dry foods like cookies and toast are germ free for 30 seconds! But on the other hand, moist foods like pasta or gummy bears are only good for about 5 seconds.

I think that the study was kind of pointless but then again, the five second rule really works and is true. No more rumors! Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you to eat food off the floor at all! EW! And the scientists agree with me and prefer the zero second rule instead of the five second considering the bacteria will get you sick. I just thought that was intersting and I wanted to share it with you! If you wanna read it, click on Upfront to read a simular article about it :)
