mostly, because it only has time to flip once before hitting the ground and since you're holding it with the butter side up or on the table with the butter up, it will land butter side down.

For the same reason that cats always land on their feet...
Makes you wonder what would happen if you tied a buttered piece of bread to the back of a cat...

only if that's part of your belief system.
mine seems to fall either way if it does fall.
but if it does happen, it might have something to do with the fact that the buttered side is heavier and therefore tilts downwards when the bread falls.

The mythbusters busted this one. It just seems like it always lands butter side down.

What happens if you tie buttered bread to a cat's back and then drop it? Which way does it land?

Not always. On Bizarro World, it fall butter side up. Me hate that.

The buttered side is the heaviest, so that side would probably land down.

I think a more interesting thought is ~What are the chances it would it land on its side? ~giggles~
But yeah, it always seems to land butter side down, jelly side down, mayo side down......sigh.

No, but if it lands butter-side up, you'll step on it.

It's an expression. It's basically like Murphy's Law--"Anything at can go wrong, will go wrong"..
