Clorox funded research at San Diego State University to either prove or disprove the ever-popular "5 Second Rule." You know, when you drop food on the ground you have 5 seconds to pick it up to be safe from nasty germs and micro-goo?

After extensive research the myth has been...... BUSTED!!

Researchers proved that bacteria can attach itself to food in less than 5 seconds. That gross ickiness clings to the dropped morsels the moment it touches the floor.

I believe we can apply this new research to John Mayer as well.

Sorry Katy Perry... and Taylor Swift... and Jennifer Love Hewitt... and Jessica Simpson... and Minka Kelly... and Jennifer Aniston... and countless random groupies... the gross ickiness was clinging to you from first contact.
