What does Five-second rule mean?

The five-second rule says you can still eat food you dropped, as long as you pick it up within five seconds.

His fry fell on the floor, but he picked it up right away. Five-second rule.

Took longer than that? Then by the rules it goes in the bin. Not that anyone actually counts. Fun fact: the Dutch are stricter. They call it the driesecondenregel, the three-second rule. Also read about tjak and iJskast.
