So that 5 second rule...

[youthere]

that still applies if you drop an entire meatloaf on the floor, right?

[seemunkee]

1. Did anyone else see it?

If not then it still applies

[youthere]

12. I'm good then.

[ceile]

2. hmmm

I think I may have to go with "no" on that one. Well, unless your floor is completely free of cat hair....

[madinmaryland]

6. What wrong with a little cat dander?

:puke:

[youthere]

14. self-delete

[youthere]

15. No cat hair...

we have a rabbit and a dog..but you said cat hair, so we're good.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. just as long as nobody sees you drop it...

that and don't forget to remove the lint and hair before eating... :P

[youthere]

16. Gotcha'...

does it count if anyone heard me yell "Oh SHIT!"?

[reyd reid reed]

4. If it's an entire meatloaf

the five-second rule is extended. It's bigger.

:hi:

[youthere]

17. So I could have left it there for another half hour?

Cool!

[reyd reid reed]

30. Why not?

I mean...well...why not? After all, I'm not coming to dinner.

:D

[ComerPerro]

5. cooked or raw?

[youthere]

18. cooked...it's pretty solid.

[ComerPerro]

22. dust it off, don't tell anyone...

[miss_american_pie]

7. How long since you cleaned the floor?

;)

[youthere]

19. *trying not to appear evasive* Define "clean"

[rug]

8. Brown or red meatloaf?

[youthere]

20. Brown...with red on top.

[mad-mommy]

9. they say the 5 second rule...

doesn't count...no matter how little time something spends on the floor, germs can transfer...but who cares...germs are everywhere. So I say, serve it up.

[youthere]

21. You COULD say I'd be helping my family build immunities...

couldn't you?

[mad-mommy]

35. exactly

[cwydro]

10. omg

not in my house - with cat and dogs around - the five second rule would refer to how long it took the dogs to get to it:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[youthere]

23. I was pretty quick, my dog was on the move...

all she got was a big smear of the sauce from on top.

[cwydro]

well

you could always just let the dog lick the cat hair off....:9

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Did it land cleanly?

Or did it bounce and/or roll any?

There are variables in the rule that must be considered.

[youthere]

24. It landed flat, sauce side down..

no rolling or bouncing, although I did have to flip it over to get it back in the pan.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Okay, that's an FSL/S-Delta

Wash off the sauce and you're good to go. :thumbsup:



Be sure to file a Food Substances Fouled Landing Report.

[youthere]

27. Damn! I hate paperwork. Do I keep the pink..

or the goldenrod copy?

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Pink

Goldenrod goes to the USDA, green to the distributor.

[In_The_Wind]

13. ahhh ~ no

not if I'm invited to supper :shrug:

[youthere]

25. did my kids pay you to say that?

They would you know...they've eaten my meatloaf before.

[RedCloud]

28. My dog only gives you one second...

Then beware!

[WannaBeGrumpy]

31. Totally...

I just wouldn't broadcast it! :hi:

[Taverner]

32. It applies in cases of birth control too

:evilgrin:

[YankeyMCC]

33. LoL!

Ok I could try and come up with a snappy remark, perhaps mention Mythbuster's finding on the 5 second rule...but the image I got the moment I read your question of an entire meatloaf tumbling to the floor just made me Laugh so thoroughly there's no real need to add to it.

LoL!

[catmandu57]

34. Just tell them you already put the pepper on it

noone will ever know.
