14 DAY TRIAL // Scientists at Manchester MET University claim to have found the answer to a question that's been puzzling mankind for generations.
Long story short, they say that they've managed to figure out why toast almost always lands buttered side down.
Apparently, this doesn't happen because whatever deity you worship truly hates your guts. On the contrary, it's because of the height of the table, the researchers claim.
The say that, according to their investigations into the matter at hand, toast that falls off tables that measure only 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) in height only has time to perform a half-somersault before it reaches the ground, sources say.
Hence the fact that, in some 81% of cases, the buttered side is the one that ends up giving the floor a great, big hug.
The brainiacs recommend that those who don't fancy eating buttered toast with a taste of floor buy tables that are 8 feet (2.5 meters) tall.
This height would prolong the toast's fall long enough for it to perform a complete turn and land on its back.
