Simply could NOT believe the 'Jelly-Jam Toast Test'


...I still think I suffered an aneurism sometime during this flick, and thus my memory is extremely tenuous. I mean... NO WAY did someone actually seriously write that s--t into a film supposedly wanting to take itself seriously...! It's. The. Worst. Idea.

EVER.

What is your (and everyone's) problem with it. Ramirez was a bit superstitious. So what? No one is without flaws.

I think I'm gonna test that theory. Later.

Not only that but they got it all wrong. The security guard had mistakenly jellied the wrong side of the toast - the test actually proved everything was just fine 'n dandy. There are many other test parameters as well: the kind of bread, the kind of jelly, the type of toaster, whether there was butter or margarine all affect the results. Analyzing the data when using raisin bread, for instance, requires multiple spreadsheets and hours of computer time. Its also possible to substitute jam or apple butter instead, but that gets really complicated.

I work at a restaurant and if someone drops a sammich we use that line depending on how it falls. At least those that have seen the movie. The others look at us like WTF are they talking about? I didn't think it was as bad a line as the original poster, but I can see how they would feel that way, based on the reactions people have at work who haven't seen it.

Wouldn't it usually fall with the jelly side down, since that side would be heavier?
