      Toast usually falls with the butter side down. This is because when you drop it you are holding it butter side up. As it falls from not very high it can only turn once, so that the butter side is then facing down as it hits the floor. Very annoying first thing in the morning!

      butterside down because of physics but also beacuse the butter adds more weight to that side of the bread. and also so fate can annoy us…….
