Next question. If your tire was bald, would it stick to the ground or the tire?

Probably still the tire, the material is chosen for grip / stickiness

And bald doesn't mean smooth.

I've been giving this way too much thought ๐Ÿ˜†

I think it would come down to if the fold in the wrapper was facing up or down. If the tire had tread, I don't think it would matter, but if the slit were facing down, I think the wax paper would keep it from sticking. Unless the pressure squeezed the butter out, in which case I think you'd end up with most of the button on the tire and the wrapper on the ground.

It probably also depends on the surface. Are you driving over gravel or a smooth concrete garage floor? Is the surface wet? How about the tire? Is the tire warm (recently driven) or cold? What about the ground?

There are a lot of variables here that could absolutely determine where it sticks.

Maybe we'll find out next time on "nobody asked" the show on drop out entirely about answering questions that likely have never, and probably should never have been asked.

Dropout is what college humor is called now that they bought themselves and work for themselves now. A play on them dropping out of college to basically work from home and be their own boss. Sure, it's another streaming subscription, but its like 3 dollars or something, and if you don't want to pay that, they also eventually release almost everything to youtube too.
