The 5-minute Rule Eaterie Infographic

Everyone loves food, and most people are at least tolerant of floors, so a combination of the two should be... what? 75% loved?

That sounds about right.

The 5-Minute Rule Eaterie

Anders Bohrigs set up and manages the Fem - Minut Regel Restaurang (Five-Minute Rule Restaurant) in Malmo, Sweden. As well as pancakes cooked to his grandmother's secret recipe, the restaurant offers a 45% reduction on food if it is dropped on the floor and scooped up before it reaches the table, 65% if it is a soup or 'heavily-sauced dish'. Asked to explain the policy, Bohrings said,

"What we are trying to achieve here is a movement to reduce people's overly fussy attitude to food. The policy is not meant as an apolgy; we actually prefer for customers to request their food be dropped when they order their meal. Very few customers have had any kind of health issues, and I feel this is something very positive for society."
