Steem Basic Income Giveaway: Butter goes on which side?
I'm still not quite caught up with the posting scheduling... so, I think this post is coming out about a week later than I had hoped... but I'm getting there! Thank you to all the entrants in the Most Annoying Sound question from about a fortnight ago! There were some truly hoorible sounds that even just imagining them gives me the creeps....
This week is a bit of an odd question... mostly as it was something that just came up between my wife and I during the week... and something that led me to have a look on the internet and then find that I wasn't the first person to ever have asked this!
Well, it all starts with crackers... you know, the sort with some sort of seeds or a clear "top"! ... and if you butter it, or you put stuff on top of it... which side would you have as the "top"?
My Question
- Give that the makers of crackers have completely abdicated their responsibility adn failed to include instructions on how to butter and use crackers... which side of the cracker do you butter? Or put stuff on top of? Explain yourself....
My sample answer
YES!
Well.. obviously, this is the only correct orientation for a cracker... the butter goes with the side with the seeds and the holes (dimples...) for holding the butter... I'm afraid that I've always done this... and never realised that people could ever be so perverse as to do it the other way around! Sadly... I just found out that one of these crazy extremists is my wife...
Consider a doughnut or some sort of cake with topping... you wouldn't turn it over to have the icing on the bottom... that would just be crazy! Likewise if you had a bun with melted cheese on top... the topping (in this case, the seeds...), is called the topping because it is on the TOP!
NO!
If you did this... the topping is on the BOTTOM! Plus, everytime you took a bite... the seeds would fall off and make a huge mess (maybe that's why my wife is a messy cracker eater...). It is wrong and there is just no way that this could ever work... anyone who butters (or puts stuff on...) this side of the cracker really should have their driver's licences revoked and sent to a camp to atone for their crimes against..... food and common sense.
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
- Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
- In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
- I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
Last week's winners
The last post paid out 0 SBD and 1.318 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.
The winners by random draw are:

no no no no....wrong side...the correct answer is the BOTTOM or the Top as a think.
if make no sense to call it the bottom its the flat part its the top one..bad news you are eating in on the bottom. the flat part is holing the butter in a thin layer on the bottom part you need so much more butter to get it all over. so by putting on the thin layer you can the cracker whit many layers of meat, fish and peanut butter jam etc. not on the same one a hope.
Haha... now I'm starting to get really confused... we should agree on my definition of top and bottom!
the real question which way they are when yo opening them. or is it a correct way to opening them..:P
Unfortunately, the manufacturer again abdicated responsibility and put them in sideways... Which I think we can all definitely agree is the worst of all worlds!
bastards....:)

I don't use butter, but I put my stuff on the flat TOP.
The reasoning is simple: If I where to use the other side I would get an uneven distribution of stuff, and many of the sunflower seeds would get stuck on my knife and I would end up having my stuff full of those seeds.
Also the ugly side(with this asymmetrical distribution of holes and seeds) is normally the bottom because you wouldn't want to see that while eating.
Ah... but if that was the ugly side... why do they use it for the marketing shot on the box?!
Some people like butts.

No way Jose oh no John sorry
I have been buttering, meltcheesing or chocopasta-ing my kanckerbrod cracker on the plain side.
I guess its a women’s thing hahahahah
Have a great Sunday,
How did week 1 of school go?
No... it's more of crazy nut thing rather than a women's thing!
Week 1 went pretty good... It wasn't too difficult as our kids stayed in the same classes (they group together groep 3/4/5 for the Middelbouw) so there was no anxiety about starting with a new juf or classmates! How was yours?

I would put butter on the smooth side because it would use fewer calories. 😁
LOL!... and oddly enough, that has been one of the more logical reasons....

So it is becoming clear to me that this is not a problem that people in the United States typically have to deal with (at least not my family). I don't think I have ever eaten a cracker that has seeds (or other toppings). Our crackers usually look the same regardless of what side is up.
And I have never put butter on a cracker. I have however put peanut butter on a cracker. So glad that I have been able to learn a little bit more about other people's cracker eating habits. I hope you all figure out this great debate!
Ha... perhaps that was a historical precedent... too many wars caused by this debate that one country decided to do away with problem altogether!
But what about ritz crackers? What side of the ritz cracker would you put the peanut butter on?
I like ritz crackers. I just put peanut butter on whichever side is facing. If you know something I don't know about which side is up, then let me know :)
My kids freak if I make them backwards, they are like tiny hamburger buns and the flat parts are what gets the topping.

I rarely eat crackers with butter or toppings...but if I have to, I'll have the butter on the "smooth" side (mostly the back), and have the topping on the other side! Sure this won't work if I want to have both at the same time, but I'm almost sure that it won't happen...eh, even if it happens, I'll wipe the butter on the "rough" side and have it hold the toppings. I mean, that feels right but not the other way round...
That's right!... wait... you are agreeing with me, right?
I think I am!

Butter or spreads go on the top in my mind.
The top that I have defined... right?
No! Nobody agrees with you! LOL Just kidding, my five year old is at school so I am acting like him to get it out of my system.
Yes, I'm starting to realise that there are more weird people in the world than I could ever have imagined... Time to duck back into my safe little box!
Yes. I would think the one that you define as the top.

hahahahahha, I know this discussion as me and my former housemate used to have it very often! I use the topside so can smear the holes full with butter making the cracker juicier..
BUT....when the toppings are too 'instable' and might fall off, I use the bottom side hahaha
quircky!
Instability is solved with MORE butter!... but you use both sides? There's only one thing worse than an extremist... and that is a fence-sitter!
