that still applies if you drop an entire meatloaf on the floor, right?

I think I may have to go with "no" on that one. Well, unless your floor is completely free of cat hair....

4. If it's an entire meatloaf
the five-second rule is extended. It's bigger. :hi:

9. they say the 5 second rule...
doesn't count...no matter how little time something spends on the floor, germs can transfer...but who cares...germs are everywhere. So I say, serve it up.

not in my house - with cat and dogs around - the five second rule would refer to how long it took the dogs to get to it:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Or did it bounce and/or roll any? There are variables in the rule that must be considered.

24. It landed flat, sauce side down..
no rolling or bouncing, although I did have to flip it over to get it back in the pan.

26. Okay, that's an FSL/S-Delta
Wash off the sauce and you're good to go. :thumbsup: Be sure to file a Food Substances Fouled Landing Report.

Ok I could try and come up with a snappy remark, perhaps mention Mythbuster's finding on the 5 second rule...but the image I got the moment I read your question of an entire meatloaf tumbling to the floor just made me Laugh so thoroughly there's no real need to add to it. LoL!
