Bacteria get on food immediately when it touches the ground 5 seconds or not
It is called the five second rule because it takes germs about 5 seconds to catch on to food. So when you drop your food and pick it up within five seconds, chances are it is still good to eat.

432,000 seconds in 5 days
In 2001, a chap named Edward Costelloe invented it. Somebody had dropped a complete BK hamburger on the floor, and after 2 seconds, the own said i don't want it, and after 5 second Edward said, 'i'll have it...5 second rule'. that pretty much it
5 years = 157 784 630 seconds.
10 minutes and 5/6 second(0.83333333)
500 milliseconds is one half of one second (.5/sec) So it's 5 seconds
The reason it is safer to eat food before five seconds of dropping is that it usually takes 5-6 seconds to be contaminated by germs therefore the 5 second rule.
No, it only takes three seconds for salmonella and E-coli to contaminate dropped food.
No, it is not! I tested and did a science experiment with agar plates and your food gets contamnated when dropped on the floor for 5 seconds or longer.
the 5 second rule is not true there are still germs on it
