Spins4me Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) thanks mod Oh dear, sorry one and all - another senior moment - this was supposed to be a reply to a different post. I'll just go away and mutter in a corner. Edited July 4, 2008 by Spins4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nouggatti Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ach, I'll stick anything in my cakehole, I voted to "pick the dog hairs off", I even give the dogs a lick of ice cream then carry on eating it myself Same here When I first started going out with my OH we went to the cinema and I gorged on sweets (you know those kiosks with the expensive pick and mix?) Anyway I had loads left over which I put in my bag. Then we went to visit his parents, and his parent's dog opened my bag and snaffled the sweets. The sweets were rescued and put in the dog food press in a jar His mother, a few days later, opened the press and ate them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAD Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 If it had chocolate on it then i'd remove all dog hairs, give it a squish under the tap and eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 When I was wee my Grandad used to have a special fluffy sweetie he kept in his pocket to offer me when I asked for one of the sweeties he was eating, so he didn't have to share ............and they say the Scots are tight..............a Yorkshireman could teach us a thing or three on that score ( he was from Hull) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 If it's not been on the floor long it doesn't count - i.e. seconds not minutes or days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrier Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 In this situation the 5 second rule comes into play. If it's been on the floor less than 5 seconds, then it's perfectly safe to eat. 6 seconds, and it has to be washed before consumption. Source: The University of Spurious Studies.

yena Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I can not believe that so many people would still eat it when it had fallen on the floor. Giving it to OH after it had been on the floor, I can understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roodles Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Normally I would put it in the bin but at the moment I'm suffering from PMT sugar cravings and although I'm ashamed to admit it, just last night my son dropped a piece of chocolate on the kitchen floor, Sophie grabbed it, I told her to drop it, which she did and much to my sons horror I ate it! I'd just like to add that i don't normally nick food off me dogs, tiz me hormones you see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimthecat Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Honestly, what a daft question. Of course I'd eat it and the one at the back of the sofa and the one under the bed. Thats the only reason why I do the housework. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my house the five second rule is enforced by the fact that if I didn't scoop the sweet up, it would get eaten by a dog! To be honest, it's probably nearer a two second rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisaann Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 In 1974 we arrived back in 'Blighty' from a 2 year stint in Hong Kong. The sweet's over there, tho nice were not the same as over here. So when I was given some money to buy some licquorice torpeedo sweets and the bag broke and they all landed up in the gutter I PICKED UP AND ATE EVERY SINGLE ONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
