Wait a second. Or five.

Say you had a small container of Trader Joe's chocolate-covered peppermint patties in your fridge. Say the container falls out of the fridge, and during the tumble, the lid pops off and all of the patties (roughly one-third of the container) fall on the floor. Say you aren't totally the best about keeping the kitchen floor super clean. The chocolate is cold and hard, not melty. And your pregnant wife runs in from the other room to pick the patties up off the floor within a very short period of time. Your pregnant wife can still eat those patties, right? WHY WON'T YOU LET YOUR PREGNANT WIFE EAT THOSE PATTIES? 5 seconds! 5 seconds!
