Can someone please grant me an extension on the "three second rule?"

nice try, meerkat.
we know you are already eating them!

unless the dog/cat/hamster has fouled them with lickage, they're okay

Ahh... Mythbusters disproved the 3 second rule - it pretty much doesn't matter in the end.

Enjoy your Cheez-its!

Granted. You have 5 minutes to share them with me, or you will start growing a tail.

*three second rule... pfft... as long as there isn't any 'visible to the naked eye dirt' nothing is off limits*

Oh dear, now everyone will know III edited my manuscript.

The 3 second rule only applies to food that is ... urgh... moist

Unless your Cheezits were dipped in something - enjoy.

(If they were dipped in something, let the cat lick it off, then re-dip)

Three seconds? And you allow this tyranny? Come to my house; we have no rules regarding food falling on the floor.

Unless you count the one where if I pick it up before you, then it's mine.

does this have any relation to the 'one foot on the floor at all times' rule?

It's a good thing we don't live in the same house.

We'd be giving each other concussions.

mmm...cheezits

:ears perk:

Cheez-its?

Nom!

brb.

You're eating Cheez-Its. How concerned can you really be? Have at it!

There's dirt and/or germs on the floor?

Well... I'll be damned.

You'd think, by the age of 54, I'd know these things.

Cheez-Itz? Lord.
You've not only been granted three seconds ... but a half life of 5,000 years.

Cheez-its are a noble food. As are Slim Jims, Beer Nuts, corn dogs, and beef jerky. However long such items lie on the floor is immaterial. Truly they are the blessed food of the gods, vouchsafed to lowly humans.

Partake of them no matter their location, and rejoice in their goodness.

Thus endeth the lesson.

The dirt's probably the healthiest part of the cheez-its. Go for it!

That's a filthy lie! Perpetuated by the makers of house hold cleansers. Don't fall for it!

Mea culpa. Alas.

Ooooh, Cheez-its.
