Ban that "rule"!

Today, I had to explain to my husband that the 5-second rule doesn't apply if you drop the floss into the toilet. FML

Yeah, you're definitely right. As a microbiology student, I can tell you that aquatic bacteria are generally more badass than those that thrive on hard surfaces. Ground bacteria usually abide by the 5 second rule because they respect the law, but aquatic species are outlaws. They don't give a ****. I actually saw "**** the police" tattooed on an aquatic bacterium's head one time. You don't mess with them.

It would explain the yellow stains on his teeth.

Depends on if the toilet was empty or filled

Don't kiss him until you know he's been taking better care if his oral hygiene.

If it was an empty toilet, the water is clean, big whoop

The water may be "clean" but it doesn't mean there isn't anything else in the water like bacteria and other things that will make you sick that you can't see.

Oh that's just nasty. That's just...no. Just no.

Eh, he was just washing it off.... But then again, I was dropped on my head and drink beer in the morning.

The five second rule is not true, bacteria spreads enormously even if dropped on the floor.
