Does the 10 second rule still apply in Africa?

Eating popcorn while writing up a report, two pieces slipped from my hand and hit the floor.

Too eat or not to eat, that is the question.

The case against eating:
- There is dirt on the floor
- It would be a bit gross

The case for eating:
- It's popcorn
- The floor was washed this morning
- I already saw an ant crawling in the bowl, so at this point what is a little dirt?
- Two pieces are a lot to lose. (I was only given a handful)
- It would be a waste of food
- It's popcorn!

The evidence is clear.
I ate the popcorn.
A little extra organic material never hurt anyone... hopefully.
