One careless knock off the plate, a case of\u2026butterfingers\u2026en route to your mouth, and the whole slice goes plummeting to its certain doom\u2014almost always to land butter-side down. Conventional wisdom would suggest that you only stand a 50-50 chance of completely ruining breakfast. However, conventional wisdom does not take into account the nature of bread. Bread is made up of delicious pockets of air, which affect its drag as it falls. Cover up those pockets with butter, and you have a rotation situation, meaning (according to science) the bread is only able to rotate one and a half times on its way to your kitchen tile. If your table is standard height, this means you\u2019ll probably be cleaning butter off the floor in the near future. So what\u2019s a bruncher to do? After dropping 100 perfectly good pieces of toast, food science specialists determined that an eight-foot tall table would allow for a full 360-degree rotation, and the salvation of your morning carbohydrate. Incredibly tall toast fans rejoice!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/toaster-grilled-cheese-bags?source=blog\" title=\"Toaster Grilled Cheese Bags\" target=\"_blank\">Toaster Grilled Cheese Bags, $9.99<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conventional wisdom would suggest that you only stand a 50-50 chance of completely ruining breakfast.
