5 second rule

Rule invoked whenever dropped food is picked up and consumed in the presence of others. Time can vary widely depending on the type of food dropped: a sirloin steak at a barbecue may have nine lives, while a street vendor hotdog is declared unfit for consumption even before it touches the ground.

Once I saw it slip from his tongs, I asked the street meat vendor if I could get a new sausage.
