Thing is the toast does not start in a random way in the real world. It starts butter up, flat on a table of fairly average height, often from a plate with a slightly raised edge with a sideways force. As was demonstrated by Adam rig one this does indeed cause a bias to land butter down... So from a table confirmed I'd say.
A toast which is placed on a table around 2 to 3 feet above the ground is supposed to fall butter side down because a toast is generally kept butter side up. When the toast is slowly pushed to the edge of a table, just think, when the toast is half way outside the table, the center of mass of the toast slightly starts to shift out of the table. At that time, for the toast to fall the toast does not falls flat. It flips half way and falls. As it falls 2 to 3 feet, it gets enough time to complete a half flip and lands butter side down. As the toast falls, its rotating motion decreases a bit. So, it doesn't matter whether the table's height is 2 feet or 3 feet or even 4 feet, the toast stands the most chance to land top/buttered side down. If some-how, Spiderman is doing the breakfast on a table whose height is 10 feet, then maybe the toast while falling will get enough time to do a complete flip and would land top/buttered side up. But, if it's not the case the toast lands top/buttered side down. If you just drop a toast using a straight vertical claw, as shown in this video, then the toast while falling does not have the rotational motion, which will not be the case while the toast tips from the edge of a table. That is the reason why the toast in this experiment stands 50-50 chance of landing top/buttered side down.
That was a different test. This was testing for bias, not the root cause behind the trend. They did another which confirmed it and calculated how high the table would have to be to get the opposing result.
@@JayJays-Total-Adventures that was miss proven bread isn't bad for ducks bit is not great. Better then nothing if your going to feed them anything he'd them peas
I love that they show failed tests even from just the contraption that dispenses top and bottom sides evenly. Wish I watched more of these videos when I was younger
A German TV show also did an episode of this and they discovered a formula for this. This was their results: A drop of a kitchen table of 80cm height is more likely to land on the butter side while a drop from a height of 2m is more likely to land on the down side.
this is simple physics that dont require anything complicated, adding butter adds weight (albeit only a few % extra) which causes an extremely small bias towards 1 side because of gravity, 20 samples is not enough to detect a bias of only a few percent, you would need atleast a 1000 to start seeing the bias
The reason that it mainly fall butter side up is because of the height it is dropped from. The bread will flip as it falls off a plate, or from someones hand, and as the butter is facing up, the bread faces down as it hits the floor and obviously stops its rotation when it connects with the floor. Dropping it edge first is not correct practice are people usually don't have their buttered toast standing on their plate on the edge of the pieces....
I don't know anything about statistics, but it seemed premature to discount Jamie's rig after 3 pieces landed up and 7 pieces landed down... I don't think those numbers are statistically significant with such a small sample size.

@Burial Though I wouldn't usually trust Nietzsche on math,... that's just how it is 😅. With such a small sample data, most, if not all, of the experiments just can not give a reliable result.
So enjoyed all the mythbusters episodes. But I refuse to watch anything with ruined aspect ratio making everything look ridiculous and horribly distracting to TRY to watch.
IMO the main issue with their testing is that normally toast is buttered quite liberally. Enough to add a significant (but not large) weight difference between the two sides. This quite clearly would explain the reason behind the myth. Like a weighted coin, a (relatively) thin object with two flat sides that has very little bias towards either one, wouldn't require much weight added to either side to suddenly make one a much more likely outcome.
I'm surprised they didn't address the confirmation bias that causes the perception. you remember more the situations you lament, and reinforce them much more in your memory, so when it doesn't land in the sticky side, you brush it off and forget it happened, if not you have to throw it away and clean the mess, which takes longer and carries an emotional response, marking it much more in your memory
Since any toast that's been buttered sits buttered side up on a table or plate, odds are that if you bump or slide it off, based on the height of the average table and the average height that a person holds a plate as they're walking, you're guaranteed to get a single flip leading to toasts predominantly landing butter side down. I've never dropped toast indiscriminately. I've only ever dropped them like Adam's first machine and they've always landed buttered side down.

Slavik moms watch this clenching their fists in cold sweat. In Slavic culture if you drop a slice of bread you’re supposed to pick it up and kiss it to show respect for the food you received
Ok..thinking again. When people drop toast, they are usually holding it butter side up or spreading on it, with a knife on a plate, thus spread side up. The flip must occur mid air.
this is defensively plausible - in the first test where it slid off the table - it was a natural accurance , and you don't put butter side down on the tablefacing down .. so when it flips its butter side down on the floor
I think butter side always falls down. As you see in the natural version, it flips once and lands top down. If you butter the top and accidently brush the toast off, it would flip once and land butter side down. I think they tried to eliminate the variable errors so much that they forgot the myth is based off human error and observation
love how everyone's discussing this thoroughly in the comments but they obviously just thought "let's throw toast around in an overly complicated way because we just can"

While the buttered side landed up more often than the non-buttered side (RR=1.115), the difference was statistically not significant (p=0.537). The buttered side up should have landed 36 times up to be a statistically significant result (RR=1.385; p=0.0379).
They could have just extended the belt a little bit more and have adam butter the toast on the go while having someone else do the counting. It would make 70% more Toastdrops per minute!
Most of what is shown in this video is just useless, and it misses the point. The real point is that when a toast falls, it falls when we have flat in in one hand. When this happens, it flips while we are buttering it. So the toast starts falling with an angular momentum. This means that in the first part of its fall, when it is still falling at a low speed, it has the time to flip enough to turn by 90 degrees, still having a constant angular momentum. After this, the fall goes faster (it accelerates because of gravity), and the slice simply does not have time to flip completely and make a 360 degrees turn (actually 270 degrees would be enough). The fact that it is buttered has essentially no effect. It simply falls preferentially on the side that is opposite to the one that was upside at the start. It would need almost 2 meters of fall to flip enough to go back to the buttered side up.
That's literally what the video disproves. As demonstrated at the beginning, it usually falls face down because it completes a half revolution from a normal sized table, has nothing to do with the weight of the butter
Logically the toast should land buttered side down. Butter would soften the side of the toast that it is on. Softer side squishes more. Toast tips to squished side. I think that the butter application adds a bias to the experiment. Spray butter would have been a better decision. 13:59
Considering most people I know also put honey, chocolate, peanut butter etc. on the "buttered" side, it's a lot heavier on that side making it land on it
To avoid a bowl toast due to smearing the butter... use spray butter.. comes in a can and you just push a button to spray it on top of the toast (or what ever you spray it on) then again how many people do that in real life, so butter side up due to smearing a bowl into a toast is a good representation of what happens in reality in every days houses.....
Great experiment, poor statistics: when you flip a perfect coin 10 times you have about a 25% chance to get a 3-7 or 7-3 distribution. Including more skewed distributions would have a 35% chance of reacting a perfect experiment based on a sample size of 10.

Technically, how fresh the toast is would matter. Hot air rises, As the hot Air escapes the toast it could happen to rotate the toast mid-air, es butter seals over the perforation of the grain, forcing the air to shit sideways in an attempt to make it over the edge. That hot air would have drag, creating force, which in theory, COULD help give the toast some extra spin. Adding extra factors, like a slightly off-level table…. Your toast could indeed land butter down more often.
How stupid, build a conveyor belt to eliminate the human element (never mind that the myth involves humans) to pass bread to Jamie who picks up the toast to put in a dropper. Why not put the actual toaster, which incidentally has it's own conveyor belt, at the edge of a table, we had one in work it has a shelf that catches the toast so it doesn't fall on the floor, remove the shelf. Duh. You can tell this is American.
It's a shame they both couldn't get along with each other. Adam once said this when asked why they gave up mythbusters. I mean, if you look at scenes like this one both playing british posh gentlemen, I thought they seemed to have a lot of fun together. I don't know, it really doesn't look like they hated each other. Too bad
i feel they should have built a toast launcher that fired 150 feet into the air and counted results off the five hundred pieces of toast on the runway afterwards
Is this one of those "even if you have 100 unbiased six-sided dice, and launch them the same way each time on to the floor, they will still come up randomly instead of the SAME side each time" moments?
But the leaf effect takes toast , who got curved by the toaster's heat under the butter side, witch if soft not crunchy, so buuter side down in real life, from a rooftop that is!

4:44 Ten is not a large enough sample size to decide that.
To avoid a bowl toast due to smearing the butter... use spray butter.. comes in a can and you just push a button to spray it on top of the toast (or what ever you spray it on)
then again how many people do that in real life, so butter side up due to smearing a bowl into a toast is a good representation of what happens in reality in every days houses.....
Great experiment, poor statistics: when you flip a perfect coin 10 times you have about a 25% chance to get a 3-7 or 7-3 distribution. Including more skewed distributions would have a 35% chance of reacting a perfect experiment based on a sample size of 10.
From 14:44 to 14:55 how the fuck did they make dropping toast creepy
Myth: toast? Verdict: yeah prolly idk
Ving Rhames saying Toast (from Mission Impossible) would've made this episode that much butter, I mean better
Mario: remember, all toasters toast toast
What about hight
Just said if you knock toast off a counter it does one flip and land face down. Which the original rig is the correct rig. 😉 Myth Confirmed 👍
9:18 So their sample size was 24... interesting it wasn't a minimum of 30 which from what I think is the standard minimum sample size?
3 down 7 up is a perfectly reasonable random distribution.
I feel like this experiment is the story of my life
Asking the important questions
It's funny how they don't have any idea of statistics and think 3 to 7 is not okay
Heheh love this, i remember when rick sanchez build a sentient robot to pass butter😂😂
Children in Africa could've eaten that toaster
Fun fact I live in Africa and only people who have a drug problem are hungry
@@miyavanniekerk3684 yeah i'm sure the whole starving children thing is made up to haverst money .-. It's not like we have tons of people, photos, videos, exc proving it's true
@@gero693 It is not made up, that much is true. However it is blown waaay out of proportion from what it really is. Sure, there are hungry and homeless people, but they are everywhere.
Also, quite ingenious of you to disagree with the one living there. I'm sure the videos you (and everyone else) saw definitely are more reliable than actually living there.
@@Muckowitch well, I think I'm gonna belive the people from save the children, and the red cross who have helped there and came back to tell us what happened. I don't think they made up the photos they showed us. A stranger on internet can say what he want, even that it's all made up, but he's not showing proofs. Soo, sorry, but I don't belive neither of you
@@gero693 Honestly that is probably the best decision you could have made in this case
How come they didn't blow anything up?
I just watched a Video of two guys which wasted a big amount of toast, which would be enough to fill an whole african village of hungry children.
Too bad Scottie left the show. She was a great fabricator and seemed to be such a nice person.
Kari is a good sandwich maker.
“We went to 1000 restaurants, we would shoot a 1000 people flipping roast of tables.” -the best myth busters out of context line
Adam looks like he's just fresh out of a prison break
Technically, how fresh the toast is would matter.
Hot air rises,
As the hot Air escapes the toast it could happen to rotate the toast mid-air, es butter seals over the perforation of the grain, forcing the air to shit sideways in an attempt to make it over the edge.
That hot air would have drag, creating force, which in theory, COULD help give the toast some extra spin.
Adding extra factors, like a slightly off-level table…. Your toast could indeed land butter down more often.
I love how there old sketch made the video from 144p to 16p
This episode made me hungry
How stupid, build a conveyor belt to eliminate the human element (never mind that the myth involves humans) to pass bread to Jamie who picks up the toast to put in a dropper.
Why not put the actual toaster, which incidentally has it's own conveyor belt, at the edge of a table, we had one in work it has a shelf that catches the toast so it doesn't fall on the floor, remove the shelf. Duh.
You can tell this is American.
Toast landing butter side up or down is relative to the price of the carpet.
🎼TOAST ON DECK… BOMBS AWAY!
TOAST ON DECK… _BOMBS AWAYYY!🎶_
they are talking about statistical strength, and drop only 20 toast?
True. But also extremely wasteful to throw so many slices of bread on the floor.
It's a shame they both couldn't get along with each other. Adam once said this when asked why they gave up mythbusters. I mean, if you look at scenes like this one both playing british posh gentlemen, I thought they seemed to have a lot of fun together. I don't know, it really doesn't look like they hated each other. Too bad
Can i ask what happens with all that toast
It was dropped duh
@@jermainlyson4682 listen here you little shit
That was my 1st MB episode I've ever seen
if they covered the floor with protective film. I can eat those bread after the experiment
i feel they should have built a toast launcher that fired 150 feet into the air and counted results off the five hundred pieces of toast on the runway afterwards
Realistically I think it just comes down to the distance of the height to the floor
Is this one of those "even if you have 100 unbiased six-sided dice, and launch them the same way each time on to the floor, they will still come up randomly instead of the SAME side each time" moments?
11:26 holy shit, i just realized, that's Carrie Byron! O_O
can you tell me about theother woman ? ive been trying to find her for years
@@dhxxco Scottie Chapman, she is right there in the credits with Tory and Kari.
@@dhxxco When the show first started they hate Scottie Chapman instead of Grant.
But the leaf effect takes toast , who got curved by the toaster's heat under the butter side, witch if soft not crunchy, so buuter side down in real life, from a rooftop that is!
In the earlier seasons i like their chemistry better
Ok but did i ask
you clicked on the video lol
If there is an outfit Jaime will wear it is a gentleman's outfit
Spoiler : it's related to your skull resistance to impact.
