Hmm, we need a larger sample space. I have a birthday party to go to soon, I'll bring some toast and some butter, see what we can work out.

XD I don't have pics, but I did do an experiment.
I tried a half a piece of toast with different spreading methods. (same butter though)
Up Blob of butter: 1 Spread butter: 1 Melted butter: 1
Down Blob of butter: 1 Spread butter: 1 Melted butter: 1
Conclusion:
With butter side down, the blob of butter fell off and the melted butter dripped. The spread butter was fine. For both up and down the blob of butter had no taste difference. For the melted butter there was a slight taste difference and for the spread butter, the butter side down was a bit better, but it's even a smaller difference than the melted butter.
So what now?

So I suppose that if you have spread butter, butter-side-down is the way to go.

I don't think the taste would be any different whether the butter be on top or bottom. When you chew it up, the location of the chunks randomize, and the saliva carries all the taste to all of your tongue. But what about smell? Smell is part of taste, too. If the butter is down, the aroma of the butter can't get to your nose as easily. If my first statement is false, then you could give you nose the butter and your tongue the toast, or you could give your tongue the butter and your nose the toast. Then you could decide whether you like the smell of butter or bread better, the taste of butter or bread better, and whether you like your favorite taste or favorite smell better. If my first statement is true, butter-side up would give a more buttery flavor.

You have a point, but the only way to support that is by tests, which Memzak has done.

Meh... If I'm at home and feeling hungry again I'll try another test with attention to smell...

We need to test margarine as well. And mixtures between frozen and melted,spread and frozen ect. All combinations must be tested. We also need at least a hundred testers.

Sure, but margarine isn't butter. It's close, but any test results would have no effect on the eventual conclusion.

Sorry guys, I have some bad news. I can't do the test with smell if I do it, my nose is blocked. :/
I'll eventually get hungry though so when I do I'll prepare myself some buttered toast.

As I have mentioned on chat, the solution is to make a Mobius-slice of buttered bread. That way, there is only one side, and it is buttered. We do assume in the argument that one side of the bread is buttered, so I think I may rightfully assume the solution slice would be buttered, not unbuttered...

How exactly does one make a möbius toast? After all, it is crunchy, and crumbs will fall...

Post by Fringe Pioneer on Apr 23, 2011 5:26:19 GMT
Ah, it is toast, and not just bread, isn't it? Well, I overlooked that little detail...
|

Post by Qwerty on Apr 23, 2011 6:30:35 GMT
It would also be kinda hard to hold. There has to be somewhere to hold it that isn't buttery, after all.
|

Post by Anonymousperson5 on Apr 23, 2011 6:33:18 GMT
Yes, but you don't have to cover the entire strip, do you?
|
|
|
Post by Qwerty on Apr 23, 2011 6:35:42 GMT
If you don't cover the whole thing, you still have an unbuttered side, but the definition of "side" has changed.

Well, assuming it isn't toast, you would butter both sides of a natural slice of 2-sided slice and cut off two parallel sides of crust. You would then twist the slice, join the non-crust edges, and hold the resulting Mobius-slice by the crusted edge.

Pretty twisty slice of bread. I think a long price of bread should be twisted, then a Möbius-strip-shaped toaster would do the trick. H Then just butter it up, and you could hold it with a napkin or something.
Another solution is to eat the toast sideways.

Hmm. Maybe if we stuck the toast in a normal toaster, rather than the bread-specific variety?

I hardly ever use butter at all. I just whack on Vegemite, which is sticky and tasty both ways.

I always eat with the spread facing down. I eat a mix of Nutella and butter. So much win.

Nutella > Butter.
End of story.

Just butter both sides or don't butter at all.
|

Post by ganondorfchampin on Oct 1, 2011 0:56:05 GMT
But if you butter both sides its too hard to hold the toast.
|

Post by Likep on Oct 1, 2011 16:37:06 GMT
Should you hold the toast by it's sides?

It would also be kinda hard to hold. There has to be somewhere to hold it that isn't buttery, after all. Not really. You can just hold the edges-which-are-actually-thin-sides and eat it like that. Or butter one side, then make the möbius shape. That way it will still be buttered on both sides but one half will still be bare. I think...

If you butter it both sides down, when you drop it, won't the universe be ripped apart from the toast looking for a isingle buttered side to land on?

Post by Qwerty on Oct 8, 2011 3:43:19 GMT
No, that's if you tape a cat to the other side.

Post by Likep on Oct 8, 2011 15:26:14 GMT
End of problem. Butter both sides. Or you could try that Mobius-Toast, but that's something only GV knows how to do.
