My neighbor swore by the 5-second rule for years until I watched him pick up a hot dog off the asphalt

My neighbor Bill always said food is fine as long as you grab it within 5 seconds. Last Saturday at his cookout, he dropped a hot dog on the driveway and scooped it up quick. I told him that rule is a myth and he laughed it off. Two days later he was in bed with a bad stomach bug. Has anyone else known someone who tested the 5-second rule and paid for it?

Did he actually eat it? That asphalt is nasty.

Yeah @laura_wright, the asphalt is probably what did him in. Feel bad for the guy though.
