^ How do you know it's fake? Looked real to me. They might've had to do more than 1 take though. ;)

Actually the strange part is you'd think the bike would need a bit more distance to run up to speed.

it looks like theres a another layer between the items on the table and the sheet
Not really racist!

If you thought that was real, then I have some beach front property to sell you. ;)

The important part of that is there is slack for him to gain just a little bit of speed before it starts tugging. If it was taut to begin with, I don't think it would work.

I wonder if Mythbusters ever tried anything like this?

I'm not sure why you think it's so obvious it's fake.

Doesn't look all that impressive either, not the same effect with the bike IMO

Not with 193 HP. :thumbsup:

I have one of those available! In the same color. Come buy it someone...

If you believe that I got a bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you.

if they use a very slippery table cloth material and very heavy plates, physics will tell you that the force you can put on it is very small because your friction coeficent is very low. plus, more weight the plates are, the more force you need to accelerate it. In conclusion, it could be real if you put some thoughts into it. all you need is the mass of the plates, friction coefficient of the plates and glasses on the cloth, the acceleration of the bike and you can calculate if that's possible.

^ Finally, someone who actually takes physics into account instead saying ZOMG it "looks" impossible therefore it must be fake. You guys are awesome. :rolleyes:

Not saying that commercial wasn't CG, but it definitely should be possible. Mind you I don't think they used a regular table cloth (not slippery enough) or regular plates (not heavy enough).

Not to derail, but why would you bother listing all those shitty cars in your sig? Serious.

High school physics tells me this commercial if fake.

Ok not fake. it really happened, but with a bit of help. Magnets on the plate and under the table, teflon tape or non-stick spray onto the bottom of the plates and supperware, or a clear sheet of plastic between the table cloth and dinner ware.

Newton's law of inertia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#Newton.27s_first_law)

So do you still want some beach front property?
