I remember seeing a Mythbusters episode which tested the 5 second rule. Their conclusion was ""Even if something spends a mere millisecond on the floor, it attracts bacteria," MythBuster's five-second rule myth buster continued. "How dirty it gets depends on the food's moisture, surface geometry and floor condition - not time." Worst case is probably dropping moist food on a carpet.
I never worry about dropping food on a carpet. I have a Labrador who doesn’t know how to count. He eats anything. Furthermore I haven’t bought vacuum cleaner bags since July…..1986!
