Depends on the floor. whether it fell upside down, or on it's belly. It also depends whose at fault for it on the ground. To be honest, I always thought it was a 5 second rule. When did it get lowered to 3? On less it varies from state to state.

So New York city would be a -5 second rule.

Thankfully they don’t sell lobster at Long John Silver’s. I would also say no to the floor at Red Lobster in Inglewood but yes to the floor at The Lobster in Santa Monica.

Well at a restaurant, you can always ask the waiter to take it to the kitchen and rinse it under hot water, and re-dunk it into boiling water for a couple of seconds, to sanitize it.

I bet that happens once in awhile. Somebody drops their expensive lobster, thinking, "Oh heck, now what?", then they realize they can get the waiter to do a re-do so the expensive lobster is not wasted.

At home, I do that all the time, I don't give a shit. A restaurant though? Those places are pretty nasty. Let it lie.

get what you're saying, but back into boiling water, to me, kills almost everything. But if it was their fault in the first place, then they're making me a fresh one.

And just to be sure, the old one sits on the table until the new one comes out.....I am far from a trusting soul.

Can I have it then please? I'd scrape a hobo's toenail clippings off and eat it. It's lobster.
You would do that for weird sex from the Asian rub & tug joint.
 
If you're a regular at the restaurant and a baller in your tipping game, the server may just get a brand new lobster for you.
 
I don't have the source with me now, but I think there was once a study of the "5 second rule". If my memory serves me right I think they came to the conclusion that the transmission of pathogens is damn near instantaneous at any contact. So unless the surface people walk on is exceptionally clean for some reason any contact is a risk.

It does kind of burst one's bubble. I morn all the cookie chunks I've had to throw away in my life because they broke apart in my hand and fell on the floor.

But if it's your floor, they're your pathogens, so fuck it.....are you gonna get, what you already have? Plus, let's face it. some if not most of use have licked a pussy you thought might eat you back, since it came from "last call", or licked a butt hole? Unless it falls on the bathroom floor, a couple of seconds in your own house isn't horrid.

Unless you're REALLY freaked out by germs.

If you went to a restaurant and ordered Lobster but the lobster squirted out and fell on the ground would you pick it up and still eat it? It's lobster.
Were you wearing a lobster bib? Did you look cute? :) Pictures or it didn't happen .. :LOL:

Usually there is a five or a seven second rule. Kiss your hand up to God and take your chances. Just make sure the Devil doesn't come along and get you though. :devilish:

Best answer. 🏆

Mythbusters did this and found it was dependent on the food (e.g. how porous it is), and that time had no impact at all.
