While the toast is undergoing its free fall and it is assumed that one side of it touches the rim of its container before the buttered toast slips out of it completely, it will surely take a spiraling or rotating downward movement, thus, giving us a picture that the odds were high for the toast not to land on its buttered side. But why it is more likely to land on its buttered side?

As the toast goes downward realizing that the other side of it was coated with butter, it definitely has more weight compared to the other side that does not have a butter coating. It is known that the law of gravity or the gravitational pull is stronger in heavier objects. Therefore, due to the added weight of the butter that was being applied on one side of the toast, the buttered side of the toast is more likely to touch the ground first.

I aint arguing with you here.... but this begs a physics question that I just cant answer... as you seem to be willing to provide answers, let me ask you this.

Given that that the law of gravitational pull is stronger on heavier objects, why do all objects fall at the same rate of speed? (I believe that objects fall at a rate of 9.8 meters per second per second?
