Who the hell thought the 5 sec rule was science?

Who the hell thought that the 5 second rule was somehow proven scientifically before this? (The submitter/poster mentioned having his life shattered)
I mean, I will "use" the 5-sec rule. Plenty of folks do. But for most people, it's just a damned excuse to eat food that has fallen on the ground. I mean, why waste whatever it is as long as there isn't hair, sand, gravel, dust, toenail clippings or something else sick that happened to be where it landed? Did some of you schmucks really think this was something they "discovered" in the 50s or something, and just now disproved? C'mon! It's just an way to prevent waste.:P

I read an article on Science Daily, IIRC, about the concept of hormesis: that low level exposure to pathogenic forces improves the health of the organism.
A few years ago I read an article about the spread of bacteria when handling raw chicken. They asked a number of people to prepare a roast chicken starting with a sanitary kitchen, and then they went around afterwards looking for salmonella bacteria. The woman in the study who cleaned most compulsively proved best as smearing the bacteria onto every kitchen surface. Unless you clean with bleach, the average soapy rag is just an efficient distribution system.
Compared to kitchens and door handles, the average floor is a dose of penicillian. Hormensis from fallen gummy bears prepares my body for food that has contacted the kitchen counter for more than a few seconds.
Don't recall exactly where I read about the salmonella study, but it was around the time that The Sciences was still good, so it was a while ago.
