Why does peanut butter bread fall peanut butter-side down?
    #9258326 - 11/17/08 02:15 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Perhaps this is more of a scientific question, but it seems to defy all known physics and could be evidence of a Cosmic Jokester. My trials yield about a 70/30 ratio instead of the expected 50/50 'heads/tails' ratio.

Dropping a similarly-weighted slice of bread NOT covered in a gooey substance yields random (50/50) results.

Shit, I have gone trough 11 loaves of bread testing this so far. Guess one should not get stoned so late at night...

The buttered side is heavier than the un-buttered side, thus shifting the breads centre of gravity.

For the same reason cats always land on their feet. Perhaps you should strap some buttered-bread to the back of your cat and see what happens when you drop it. Especially if you're stoned.

Has to do with the height of the counter and how many rotations are possible.  Center of gravity also, as mentioned.

The real question is do you want the peanut butter to land on the down side?

don't put too much bread... wouldn't want to give the cat too much padding.

I figure typical counter height usually allows for one half-rotation if the bread is knocked off the counter.  Try a higher counter and see what happens.

The peanut butter also makes it top-heavy.

we only remember what sticks
the butter may not hit the ground
in such cases we don't collect any data
we only recollect the sticky data

pfft, human error.  You need a mechanized way of performing the test.

I suggest you apply for a grant to do this research and buy the robotic arm that you clearly need.

I was always under the impression that the chance is based on the value of the carpet... Try dropping it over some expensive shag.

If you have new light-colored carpeting and are having a houseful of guests, the ratio of red wine to white wine spilled to white/red wine served seems to remain also at about a 2 to 1 ratio.

Must be some sort of universal constant.
