The 5-Second Rule (and Other Germ Myths That Need to Die)
Details
Think you know which germ myths are harmless and which are just clueless? Join us for a hilarious, science-backed night: The 5-Second Rule (and Other Germ Myths That Need to Die). We’ll bust the myths you swap at parties — dropped food, toilet seats, hand-sanitizer folklore, and the myth that antibiotics fix every cold — and give you short, memorable takeaways.
This event mixes myth-busting with games: live polls to test group intuitions and a Kahoot-style quiz with prizes for the top scorers. Expect eye-opening slides that explain what “sterile,” “disinfected,” and “clean” actually mean, practical tips for safe everyday hygiene, and simple demonstrations so you can see the difference between cleaning and disinfecting.
Perfect for curious neighbors, parents, students, and anyone who likes science that’s useful and fun. Bring a myth you’ve heard and be ready to vote. Note: this is community education — not medical advice.
