This is On Networks "Five Second Rule" video in which they claim that a student won a Nobel Prize for a study into the so-called "five second rule" for safely eating food that's been dropped. Except that the student didn't win a Nobel prize - they won an Ig Nobel prize in 2004 for improbable research (so, there was a real and proper study, but the programme researcher on this is an idiot).

  • The really interesting thing about the research they referenced was that most surfaces they tested were germ free. They finally resorted to adding germs to a surface to test the rule. So the truth is that it is usually OK to eat food off the ground, no matter how long it has been there.
