Ice cubes are not subject to the five second rule

You could literally drop an ice cube on a steaming pile of dogshit, pick it up and rinse it with hot water until the contact area is melted away and you would have no remnants of the aforementioned dooky. When you drop a twizzler, let's say, on a "clean" floor, you have five seconds to retrieve it and blow off the nasties. With an ice cube, because of the inherent "wetness", ya really don't want to eat it within the five second window. The advantage, though, of an ice cube is that you can achieve a greater quality of "cleanness" and "germfreeness". The only thing you have to watch out for is the dooky particles could stay in your hand, thereby contaminating the ice cube anew. hmmm..... I may have to rethink my position.........
