There are many myth in Indonesia. One of them is five-second rule. And I bet that you ever experience it. When you drop your food and then people will shout,”Take it, it has not been five minutes!” But why? Why should within five minutes?
Scientific explanation is the longer the food is taken, then the bacteria will multiply in the food more and more every minute. This myth was created so that you do not eat foods that many bacteria in it. You should be gratefuol to this myth so you can avoid from many diseases like stomach ache. But, would not it be better if you don’t take the foods and just go buy new foods?
