Does the five second rule count for mashed potatos?

I mean i've lived by the rule but mashed potatos just kinda splatter. I've had this discussion before but we never came to a conclusion.

It would be hard to effectively pick up mashed potatoes in only five seconds.

Skittles seem to be a good choice for floor dropping.

I never understood this "rule"

Why would you want to eat food that has been on the floor?

The 5 second rule is bullshit.

Why was this moved to the OTF?

This is microbial discussion of the merits of a measure of finite events in a linear non-spatial continuum, and how this would actually affect, negatively, the sustenance of a sentient species that subsist on this particular mixture.
