Oh wait, what's that? You've never heard of the 5 second rule???

Gasp.

Well, there's no other way to explain the 5 second rule aside from painting a hypothetical scenario which I'm sure everyone has done, despite not knowing what the 5 second rule even is.

Because I know you all do it. *snickers*

Okay, so take a 5 second moment (see what I did there lol) right there to indulge yourself into the thoughts of your favorite food. It could be anything from spaghetti to macaroni to pizza to chicken to chips or fries. For me it will always be fries. 

Then imagine a plate full of that heaven sent food miraculously appearing in front of you. You lean in, sniff the appetizing oh-so-glorious smell in the air (it's close to the smell of victory), see the hot oily greasy temptation sensation beautiful obra maestra sitting in front of you, and now you feel your mouth water. Your hand shoots straight to the plate about to take a piece, and you're almost there, the piece of fries is about to make its first contact with your quivering mouth, when BAM! It slips right out of your lazy fingertips and falls to the floor.

You look left and right, up and down, as if checking if anyone is watching. And before you count to 5, you quickly pick it up and eat it.

Guilty?

Or proud?

Here's a little secret. (Well not a secret anymore obv)
