Display:inline-block and whitespace in your html

[tevko]

2 side by side elements at 50% width will not float next to each other unless there is no whitespace in the HTML http://codepen.io/tevko/pen/dsKjf/

wtf, html

This is an intended behavior (inline block is supposed to account for whitespace around it) but it seems antiquated as layout other than DOM order should be almost entirely up to css. It also makes for a lot of freaking out when your basic code isn't working
