Is it normal for someone to eat food off the floor in a public place?

OK,so I was at a club meeting at my school and they handed out cookies and candies for us to eat,right?And then out of the corner of my eye I see a girl eating a cookie.A piece of the cookie falls to the floor.Then I see the girl bend over and put it back in her mouth.

I thought that that was nasty, especially since plenty of people go in and out of the classroom, tracking in dirt from outside.But it made me wonder how many people would actually do that if something they ate fell on the floor.

So would you put food back in your mouth or would you put it in the trash if it fell in a public place?

Yes, I'd put it back in my mouth 11
depends on what it is 14
depends on how long its been there (5 sec rule) 21
No, I'd dump it 71

    Hmm, I wouldn't, we don't know exactly what's on the floor. Maybe off the indoor floor in your own house is ok. But no way if it's somewhere people walk in their shoes from all around. What if someone trod in dog poo...? : / Grr... now I'm thinking about how people don't pick up their dog's mess! SO lazy. Anyway, sorry to bring dog poo into this! lol

      Exactly what I was thinking. There's no telling what's been tracked in off of people's shoes.

    Ladies:

    Men step in pee in the men's room, then walk around wherever else in a public place. No way! Don't eat that! Gross!

      There is no 5 second rule for the public... that rule only applies at home.
