BREAD AND BUTTER

Bread really does tend to land buttered side down when dropped. In 2001, Robert Matthews of Aston University in Birmingham, England, had over 1,000 school children drop almost 10,000 buttered bread slices from table height.  Sixty-Two percent (6,101) slices landed buttered side down.

If anyone knows of similar experiments on buttered toast or bread spread with jelly, it would be interesting to compare statistics on this critical subject.
