Fat has a lower density than water does.
A solid with a higher fat content will have a lower density, and will be more likely to float in water.
Full fat mayonnaise floats because it has less density than water (1g/cm*3*) and low fat mayonnaise sinks because it is more dense than water and I think it's because of the differ in the ingredients.
