The corkscrew at Alton Towers. In case you, like me, have wondered about the physics of spitting whilst on a roller coaster, here is the lowdown. (Firstly, I don't advocate spitting unless necessary, I only justify my own actions in the name of science.)
Spittle will leave your mouth in the usual fashion, it will then describe two perfect circles in the air in front of you. As you watch, amazed, it will then follow the usual laws of gravity (which you will suddenly recall) and return from whence it came. i.e. Right in the mush.
