Well, I guess the 5-second rule is truly an old wives tale since if something I am consuming falls into a mud puddle, the 5 second rule doesn't apply. I actually found a website where a study was conducted on the 5 second Rule and it failed. You can find it here http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/03/22/the_5-second_rule_should_you_eat_it_or_not.htm.
I think it is safe to say that if something falls on the floor, throw it away.
