It depends from whether the test subjects get to drink the results, I suspect. (-:

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that someone has actually studied this. It has certainly been reported that people have studied whether humans switch their preferred hands according to the task being performed.

That said, this is leaping to a conclusion not yet supported with good data. We still need to rule out the #CoriolisEffect.

Famously, that's going to require a bathtub-sized drinking glass, a crane-mounted spray can with vibration dampeners, and about 500 litres of coffee/chocolate.

And the same tests performed in #Australia, just to be sure.

Verifying a Vortex

A scientist’s quest to demonstrate the Coriolis effect in a bathtub

Which of course opens up a further avenue of research into whether you would change your swirl chirality if you had to circle the cup instead of the spray can, and what you'd do with an immovable dispenser nozzle like in one of those fancy steampunk coffee machines.

I am sensing a common theme.

And also a research paper topic for some enterprising academic on why the swirls are always anti-clockwise.

Is it because you are in the Northern Hemisphere? Or because of the handedness of the person who made them? Or is this a culturally acquired behaviour?
