TV Weatherman Eats off Floor, Later Finds Out it’s Vomit

You've heard of the five second rule, right? The unwritten rule that if you drop a piece of food on the floor and pick it up before five seconds is over, it's okay to eat. Not only did this TV weatherman eat something that he knew had been on the floor long over five seconds, he didn't dust it off nor think about if he had even brought food to work with him.

THE WEATHERMAN ATE CAT VOMIT, that had fallen off the bottom of his shoes from his cat, who puked at home. GROSS. Think about the trillions of germs that were picked up along the way... Check out the video and his review of the 'Grape Nuts' later known as cat puke.

By the way, in case you were wondering. I'm not sure who started the five second rule, but sadly it's a farse. According to howstuffworks.com:

The idea that food scooped from the floor in less than five seconds would be free of germs was first disproved by high school student Jillian Clarke during her internship at the University of Illinois in 2003. Clarke coated tiles with E. coli bacteria and then proceeded to drop gummy bears and fudge-stripe cookies onto their surfaces. She not only found that bacteria certainly did jump onto the food in five seconds, she also uncovered some interesting facts about human behavior -- namely that women were more likely to eat food that had fallen than men, and that sweet treats were more likely to be rescued and consumed than were veggies.
