Butter side down

Yes it never fails to land on the buttery side, GRRRR.. especially when I was eager to eat it. I have learned to hold the butter side already facing down so that it can reach my tummy faster.

This is Murphy's Law which is basically, if something can go wrong, it will! So people who are constantly down on their luck butter their bread on both sides, which is another common phrase that means you like to have everything. Then if you do have everything, you put caviar on your bread which promptly rolls off leaving you with plain bread which you should have eaten in the first place.

A better question, If a cat always lands on its feet, what if you butter the cats back? will it still land on its feet or butter side down?

Mythbusters did a segment on the butter side down and it was 50% either way... however, of course, how it lands depends ENTIRELY on the cost of the carpet under it!

If it's got Vegemite on it, it will drop into a dog's maw, mix with dog spit, and becpome VEGEMITE KISSES. Lash

I never noticed this but as I think about it actually almost always happens this way. I would guess it does this because it weighs more and well doesnt want to get eatten and i would imagine bread spread with other things would do the same thing

Same applies with margarine and spread cheese. Margarine's the stuff us poor people use instead of butter. Mr croc says salmon spread follows the rule as well.

That's what I believe is called "sod's law" although I think there is actually some sort of scientifickyness behind it like the butter side being heavier, the number of turns the bread can make from the surface having to be odd and all that sort of stuff. And, yes, whatever you put on it, it will probably fall spreaded side down - especially jam. I think, actually, the chances of it landing spread-side down are directly related to the stickyness of the spread and the awkwardness of cleaning it up!

I'm not sure. I guess it would still land that side down because it is heavier on that side.

Absolutely right and I am sure if you spread the bread with anything else it would still fall on that side. I am sure it does it just to be mean and challenge your desire to eat it. I suppose it might be a fraction heavier on that side and they do say that top heavy things fall that way. Or it might never make the floor because an adventurous dog might intercept it. I know mine try to and at least one of them loves bread, well he eats pretty much anything really. So if that dog is in the room will the bread land at all?

It always lands on the best carpet, wrong side down. Read Murphy´s laws. Same thing happens when you look at something in a three drawer chest. You will find it in the third you open. Life is hard!

I don't think that it really matters what you spread on your bread. It will always land on the floor with what you spread landing face down. it is just inevitable that crcumstances will turn out that way just because you would rather they didn't.

hi dear P1ke as long as its not a piece of bread spread with honey its not such a mess.... but it will sure land spread side down no matter what the spread is..... LOL
