5 second rule
Does the 5-second rule apply when you drop food on the ground outside?
What if it happens in a 3rd-world country and you have a 1st-world immune system?
What if the ground is sandy, as is the case in Iraq?
What if the food is soft, moist and porous, like cheesecake?
A few hours ago I decided "YES" is the appropriate answer to all of the above, because the DFAC had closed and today is my weekly designated dessert day. Time will tell whether it was a good idea to eat that possibly diseased, sandy cheesecake.

Normally 5-second rule doesn't apply in the 3rd world, but I think I would consider dry soil outdoors to be okay. You gotta figure that blazing sun is a pretty effective disinfectant.
