Its the negative force of the universe drawing items away from you. Next time, drop it upwards and then there's only the clear, obstruction free ceiling to get it down from

Just tried that - I now have a piece of toast that can't decide if landing butter side down on the ceiling would actually be butter side up Its just hanging there in space like a little alien space ship ( it is a crunchy wholegrain spaceship btw...)

Nope, no way. What you are experiencing is a little known law of physics called "fridge suck".

It states that if you drop ANYTHING small, it will invariably move to underneath the nearest, largest, most immovable object in the vicinity.

Reminds me of the test of strapping a slice of toast (buttered side up) to the back of a cat and dropping it. The cat/toast combination should hover about 3" above the ground
