Description

On this week’s episode, we debate the 5-second rule! Can you still eat food after you’ve dropped it? Does the amount of time it’s been sitting on the floor really matter? REAL SIMPLE editors Leslie Corona, Muzam Agha, and Amy Maclin explore these questions and ponder their life choices in the kitchen. Leslie chats with the main guest, Bobby Berk, design expert and Emmy-nominated TV host known for his work on Queer Eye, who fills us in on his forthcoming first book, and of course, shares his own hot take on the 5-second rule. Michelle Buteau also chimes in with some thoughts on the topic. Then, microbiologist Jason Tetro, author of The Human Microbiome Handbook and host of The Super Awesome Science Show, will drop some science-backed truth bombs about the 5-second rule to help us decide if it’s real or all made up.
