Ban that "rule"!

By PeeFlavouredFloss - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Canada - Montreal

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.

Oh wow. This has made it to my favorites list. Sorry op that your husband is slightly dumb. Why try to save floss? Unless it was the last bit, there is a years supply in a single thing!

But it makes the floss so flavoursome :)

The 5 second rule never applies to anything, because bacteria travels faster than a millisecond on to anything like food for example, so all that bacteria is already on that ten fold since it was in the toilet bowl. That's just gross.

Theoretically if your toilet is well maintained and it was flushed after last use, it's not THAT disgusting. Still pretty gross. If this wasn't the case, this may be one of the grossest things I've ever heard.
