I am talking like a cracker, pretzels M&Ms or something like that. Not a lolipop or pizza.

Just thought I would check. I always gross out my kids and eat anything after it has been on the floor.

They had old uncooked macaroni that we used for bingo markers at their school........ i have no idea how old they were but I dared them to eat some but they wouldn't. I survived.

Depends on what kind food it is. If its wet and nasty, like a meatball after it's dropped to the ground, no. But thinks like M&M, un-licked candy, etc., why waste it? Just blow the dust and eat the sucker.

Sure. Depends on where the floor or ground is though. In my home, yes. In a subway station, no.

I will eat it as long as it didn't pick up any visible grime and hasn't been sitting for more than 5 seconds
