my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.

I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed

It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.
