Why does toast land butter side down?!
Why does toast land butter side down?
Answers:
it only does about 50% of the time
probably because it is the heavier side. ask the mythbusters, I missed that episode.
toasts lands butter side down, it is due the the weight, the more weight on one side the more likely it will land butter side down. it has to do with weight we studied it in physics.
cause if it landed butter side up you would most likely eat it!
defintely check out mythbusters for the answer.
Mythbusters did an episode on this. It was 50/50.
Because you're not dropping it correctly. Always have postive thoughts while praising (insert your significant higher authority here) and rotating your wrist slightly toward your body.
A study was done-it's just because given the average height and angle from which toast is usually dropped it can only complete 1/2 revolution before it hits the ground.
It seems like bad luck, but it's just physics.
that's because it's the heavier side! Isn't fat heavier than bread?
it doesn't allways. They tested that on mythbusters :-)
Because the butter itself adds weight to the toast and the butter is usually on one side of the toast, not both sides.
Toast lands butter side down because the buttered side is heavier.
However, the spirit of this question has to do with Murphy's Law: given two or more possible outcomes, the worst (or most unfortunate) of the choices will most likely happen.
The "falling toast" problem has 2 possible outcomes, either butter side up landing or butter side down landing. Buttered side down is the worst of the two, since it effectively ruins the toast and dirties your floor, so Murphy's Law predicts that the "butter down" particular outcome will result.
Mine landed butter side up this morning .....thank God that was my last peice of sour dough!!
because you are not holding your mouth right! :-)
i dont know, probably because someone is trying to tell you that butter is full of fat and you shouldn't be eating it anyway.
If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it lands butter down. If you drop a cat, it lands feet first. So the real question is, if you tied a piece of buttered toast to a cats back and dropped them, how would they land?
Murphy's Law. If something can go wrong it usually will.
The butter creates more weight on the side its placed, causing gravity to act on it when falling, meaning it will turn butter side down when landing.
