Excellent! My only disappointment was that you didn’t provide a solution to the Raisin Bran “problem”. How about this? Each time you jostle the box, you’re sending more crumbs to the bottom. So why not have the opening at the bottom? That way you’re removing a portion of the crumbs with each serving rather than saving them all for the final serving.

When laying gravel walkways there is a big vibrating machine that sends all the big rocks to the top and smaller ones to the bottom. Smaller pebbles and clay make for a good foundation and the larger pebbles and rocks are more resilient to erosion. The machine is called a Vibrator Plate Compactor. I didn’t know how they worked until watching this video. Great stuff!

Actually, the cement mixer should have properly mixed the aggregate (various rocks) in the concrete (portland cement). The Viabrator Plate Compactor actually takes air voids out of the concrete. Compacted clay, then small rocks act as the foundation before concrete is poured for say a sidewalk or driveway. For bridge building, steel plates and rebar act as the foundation.

I work at a movie theater, and this is actually what i use on a daily basis. See, when you make popcorn, not all the kernels will pop. When you dump the popcorn out of the kettle into the rest of the popcorn, all you have to do is use the popcorn scoop to move it all around and mix it as best as you can. All of the unpopped kernels and hard bits of popcorn will fall to the bottom, and go through a grate into a collection bin. All the best fluffy popcorn will rise to the top, making it much easier to get a perfect bucket. This is partially why "movie theater" popcorn is better than the stuff you make at home, even though its pretty much the same exact stuff.

Bread goes in the toaster, toast comes out. But where does the bread go? Checkmate science!

This is also the reason why bare soil changes after rain. The droplets impact like meteorites and the bigger particles end up at the top and the smaller one all collect below that and get compacted. That's one of the reasons why bare soil is so bad.

I see this effect all the time when I smash up graham crackers or candy canes. I show my family but they don't seem as interested. My hypothesis was that the large granules went to the top because the small ones fell through the cracks.

I notice this effect with laundry. All my socks and masks end up in the bottom, hard to reach places, while pants and shirts come to the top. Which is really annoying, because the smaller items are harder to reach when they further down in the machine.

Also seen on farmland; that's why there are always more rocks and stones to clear from fields prior to plowing. Same effect, just slower paced.

I don't eat cereal. I eat granola because it is made with whole grains. I also use plant-milk with it. Also, I love the granola at the bottom of the container. It dissolves in my plant milk better.

I'm familiar with this effect. When the salt/seasoning begins to fall off snack nuts and you try to shake the container to recoat the nuts, it just makes more salt/seasoning fall to the bottom. Sometimes Ill turn the container upside-down and back again. This seems to work better than shaking, but the raisin bran effect still comes into play.
