The food can remain on the floor for longer than five seconds, as long as you started reaching for it before the five seconds expired.
I had to change position after my first attempt to reach the Cheesy Poof that had fallen under my desk failed. However, I had begun the attempt before five seconds had passed, therefore the five second rule was not broken.

If you're missing the bowl by less than five seconds, you're OK and don't have to worry about cleaning up after yourself
don't confuse the five second rule with other such rules regarding the safety of food

The rule that states if a guy is in and out of a girl's vagina (and finishes) while having sex in five seconds or less, it doesn't count toward his body count.
