The rule that applies to lost or fallen objects, typically food, that hits the floor. The rule applies to general areas, and does not apply to anything in a bathroom. Using this rule makes it OK to pick up said object in under 5 seconds, under the presumption that no germs attached themselves in such a short period of time.
If your gum just dropped on the floor, pick it up and say "5 Second Rule", then place it back in your mouth.

When you pick up something interesting on the ground and you hold it for less than 5 seconds, it is ok to put it back on the ground.
jim: dude didn't you pick that off the ground?
tom: ya.
jim: then why are you putting it back on the ground? you should just put it in the trash.
tom: nah dude. inverse 5-second rule.
