#8 – Eating Food From The Floor

Everyone has heard of The Ten Second Rule. If you’re one of few that haven’t, here’s a quick explanation: basically, if you drop your food on the ground, you have ten seconds to grab it before it is classed as inedible. Yeah, its not a real rule. Food on the floor should remain on the floor, waiting to be cleaned up. You wouldn’t attempt to stick to this rule in a restaurant or fast food place, but in the comfort of our own home or even at work, we have all been guilty of dropping a biscuit or a cracker and quickly picking it back up and acting as though nothing happened. We just quietly thank our stars that the cracker didn’t fall “buttery side down”.
