I was eating and all of a sudden it dawned on me. What is your rule for food that just hit the floor? To narrow it down, this is just dry foods (chips, cookies, etc) and not wet foods (toast with jelly on it falling on the wrong side, milk [ya never know, some ppl are crazy]).

Depends how clean the area is and what the food is, if I'm going to eat a tic tac and it falls on my floor. I'd eat it, because my area is clean. But if I was eating a hot dog and it was covered in ketchup and mayo and it fell out into a sand box, I wouldn't eat it :D

Depends on the food AND the surface it fell on. For instance, if it was a gumball on asphalt, i'll clean it off and eat it. Now if it was a gumball in a puddle, hewwww no.

Please don't throw this away!! Doing so will cause a CONCEALED capsule of water to break, spilling onto a dehydrated GORILLA. He will then LEAP from your trash bin and HUG you to death! :)

Cheers!

If its not sticky or such, as long as I see it hit the floor it's good forever. I won't eat random hard candies off the floor, but if I know how they got there it's all good.

It doesn't seem to depend too heavily. I mean, when I watched you eat that hot dog that had been in... nevermind.

Let's just say I think nik's apparent homophobia is a front.

Hehehe, I imagine dropped food has no chance at your place. :)

Dude you forgot the "I try not to eat off the floor" response. So I chose the I am perfect and never drop food..;)
