The Brazil Nut Effect

Cool little video I saw at Gizmodo about the Brazil Nut Effect. What is that? Don't worry I didn't know either, but I've definitely experienced it. The Brazil Nut Effect is the situation that takes place when you open a can of mixed nuts and find the giant Brazil nuts at the very top of the can while all of the other smaller and tastier nuts settled at the bottom. It turns out that there's a scientific reason for this!
