They actually did a Myth Busters episode on the 5 second rule (for dropping food on the floor and picking it up). I don't exactly remember what the result was but I think most food pretty much picked up whatever bacteria was on the floor instantly
Funny, the best place to drop a piece of food and pick it up with the least amount of bacteria was in the bathroom around the toilet!
