Is toast more likely to land jelly side down?

Myth busters did an episode on this subject. I highly recommend it.

There’s only one type of Jelly at this website, and it has nothing to do with toast.

It depends on whether you butter it first.

Isn’t this another variation of the “angels on the head of a pin” question? I mean it’s a question devoid of so many necessary specifics that a reasonable answer is impossible.

@LostInParadise There is a direct correlation between whether the toast lands jelly side up or jelly side down and the cost of the carpet. fotflol

The science and physics are called Murphy’s Law – if a piece of jellied toast is going to land on the floor, it will create the biggest mess possible and need the greatest amount of cleanup time and effort.

@MrGrimm888 – I think that relying on Mythbusters shows intellectual laziness.

You need to do this at home:

1) toast with butter
2) toast with jelly
3) toast with peanut butter

from different heights:

2’ 4’ 6’ from the ground.

I think that only rigorous testing can get us the real answer.

@elbanditoroso and,

4) toast with butter and jelly
5) toast with peanut butter and jelly
6) toast with butter and peanut butter

and really,

A. toasted Wonder Bread
B. toasted 9 grain bread

@zenvelo – wait a couple years. Someone will have done their PhD thesis on this subject.

@zenvelo – What about gluten-free “bread”?

@Seek Well, if you want to expand the study, sure. But then maybe you could add shingles and balsa wood, too!

is shingles the Fluther word of the day today?
