There's two sides to this phrase. First, "Jelly side up" refers to the classic debate on how to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, meaning the slice with jelly is facing up (towards the sky/roof of your mouth) rather than down, and it's often discussed in terms of practicality, taste, and even luck (like landing "jelly-side up" after a fall). The choice depends on preference: some find jelly-side up less messy for spreading, while others prefer it for flavor balance, with the jelly's tang hitting first.
Second, and much more relevant to my life is the fact that I'm a "Jelly side down" kinda guy. If I drop anything, it's aways gonna land with the messier side always hitting the floor, no matter what it is I do drop. I'm fairly confident you can relate. Juss' sayin'...

ReplyDeleteI KNEW there was a simple, elegant solution to this problem.
Whatta you do if you only have 8 ft ceilings?
DeleteWhich ever side has the extra on will land on the floor. Regardless of height. Murphies law.
