Real World Food Experiments - Day 2

Toast Falling

Does toast really tend to fall jelly side down? The Cockeyed.com Science Club put that old idea to the test! They toasted and buttered two entire loaves of bread and dropped each piece. The first loaf had a 20% “survival” rate, meaning the toast landed butter side up. The second loaf, to which they added honey, jam, or Nutella to each piece of toast, only had a 5% survival rate!

I want to know who was in charge of washing the floor after those pieces landed the second time????

i remember watching a segment about this on a pbs show (maybe bill nye the science guy?) and it said there generally wasn't enough time between the counter and the floor for the bread to flip over. i'll have to check my sources...
