When I worked over in Watertown, you could smell fresh bread being made if it were a warm, sunny day. Newly Weds was on Grove St, and the old rail line had a branch so it could drop off flour and other materials there.

Roxbury in the 1960s was like that minus the railroads. There were at least two bakeries on Harrison Avenue. One made Drakes Cakes and the other made those tiny little loafs of Wonder Bread and other products. There supplies were brought in on trucks. Never a spill that I can recall.

Didn’t the ‘Mythbusters’ almost kill their crew underestimating the power of a flour ignition?
Also, the Mythbuster’s ‘five second rule’ episode didn’t have an instantaneous time point.
No in the first, irrelevant on the 2nd

What are you on about? Did you ever even watch the show?
No, Mythbusters didn't almost kill their crew mis-underestimating the power of a flour ignition. Nothing of the sort even close to that happened.
As for the 5 second rule, the finding was that bacteria transfers on contact, before a human can remove the food from the floor. 2 second, 6 seconds, none of that matters. Once the food hits the floor, bacteria transfers. Nobody can instantaneously pick up dropped food.
Did moisture from last night's snow ameliorate the problem...
