I don’t by bread in open bags. I’ve seen people sneeze on the bread at the display.
Well, thank you, I feel much better now.
Haven’t you ever heard of the 5 second rule? If you picked it up within that “window of immunity”, and then did the “forceful breath of cleanliness”, the rule says that no germs attached. Hey, it’s a rule…you have to believe it’s true.
The answer to every “should I eat this?” question is no. No exceptions.
We go by the three second rule. Even for toast that lands butter-side down, get it within three seconds, scrape any crap off and you’re good to go!
Don’t waste the bread! Watch Bear Grylls eat a live fish and drink juice from elephant poo…as long as it doesn’t put you off food forever, a little bit of dust will matter not!
My granny used to say “You’ll eat a peck of dirt before you die”. Eat it and enjoy.
I’ve dropped and broken things a few times in checkout lanes. Usually I tell the cashier what’s happened and hand it to them so they can put it in their little trash can. Invariably they tell me not to worry about it, that they won’t charge me for it. I would pay for it, but they always tell me I don’t have to.
Personally I wouldn’t eat that bread if I didn’t have to, unless I could cut the crust off. You didn’t say if it was sliced bread or a solid loaf.
But… if you allow that principle to affect your behavior, you’ll actually be eating TWO pecks of dirt before you die: the original peck that you couldn’t avoid, AND the peck you let yourself eat because you were comforted by the adage “You’ll eat a peck of dirt before you die.”
For that matter, even if the quantity of unavoidably ingested dirt averages out to approximately a peck, there is no reason to assume that the amount of avoidable dirt would be equal! You might wind up eating three pecks, or four! You might find yourself getting accustomed to the taste of dirt, and subconsciously seeking out dirty food! Every time you go through a stressful period of your life, you’ll seek comfort by trying to relive those halcyon days at Grandma’s, when you sat around eating filthy, dirty food! But soon your noticeable habit of gorging on visibly soiled groceries begins to repulse even your closest friends and work acquaintances, creating a social barrier that contributes even more stress! You’re ostracised and driven from polite society! Soon you’re psychologically crippled and unable to eat anything except dirt! They find you crouched by the side of the road, shoveling huge handfuls of peat moss into your mouth! You’re led away, passive and uncomplaining, and spend several months in quiet convalescence; after which you begin a new life in another state under an assumed name. Years later, someone from your childhood recognizes you during a chance encounter; but you simply avert your eyes and leave without saying a word. That night, you floss thoroughly and methodically, until the blood flows from your gums like a river.
You are a disturbed prson who desparately needs help. 
No, he/she is hilarious. If it wasn’t so long, I’d make it my sig file. 
But he gets paid to do that. I don’t think the OP will get paid to eat the bread.
I’ve always heard it as “You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die.”
As for the OP, eat it! eat it! 
Why not toast it, and then cut off the crust?
Maybe, if you get lucky, you can use this moving bread to build a larger portal to the Realm of Toast - larger than a toaster, that is, which is the only known size of Toast Realm portal currently.
just as much crap floating around in the air as on the floor. Where do you think the yeast came from that leavened the bread? Besides, even if a germ or two got on it, they won’t make you sick. If you let it rot, the resulting toxins or multiplied bacteria will give you food poisoning, but the bread will rot regardless of its proximity to the super market floor.
Five second rule - unless it landed on a wet, sticky or conspicuously very dirty floor. Brush it off and eat it. Well, I would, anyway.
Would this be bread purchased at a porn store?
