Mythbusters

If you have ever watched the Discovery channel, you may have witnessed the Mythbusters team of Adam and Jamie.  This section of our web site contains some of the interesting work they have included in their episodes.  In the 'Real Deal' section of our website, you will be able to read about our very own experiences in handling these very same myths.

 

Here are some of the interesting episodes on myths that have been captured on the Mythbusters show on Discovery.

  • Toast is more likely to land buttered side-down when dropped

    Toast
    In an extensive and highly objective test the toast showed no statistical preference for landing buttered side-down or up when dropped.  It was an even 50-50 split when the final results were compared.  However, when pushed off the side of a table, toast showed preference to flip once and land buttered side down.

    Using lead crystal glasses, Adam proved part of the myth by breaking a glass with his amplified voice.  Rock singer Jaime Vendera was then able to break a glass using his unaided voice, confirming the entire myth.
