It's arguably a fluid, but is not a liquid.

I shave with cold cream. The Walmart generic is solid in the container, and i get enough to shave with, mix with a splash of water, and use it like shaving cream.

The TSA searched my bag and removed the container because it’s a liquid.

Who needs peanut butter so bad they bring it to the airport?

peanut butter is an emulsion
specifically, proteins, fiber, carbs, water and sugars suspended in oil

200,000 centipoise. That’s 100 times the viscosity of honey.

Not a liquid.

It's crazy how inconsistent these rulings are. I get ice cream because it melts at room temp, but peanut butter requires some external heat.

FYI, eggs are not
As I bring 12 dozen my last 2 trips

Wanna know the funniest part? You can legit pack a suitcase with 5g of water a fish and it is allowed. Done it twice.

It’s a very viscous liquid.

They do pump peanut butter when it is produced and packaged.

It’s a non-Newtonian fluid, I guess depending on the overall oil content, Creamy vs crunchy, Jif vs. Skippy vs. Peter Pan, etc.

It was forced into the shape of its container. If you drop a blob of peanut butter into a bowl, it doesn't take the shape of the bowl...it stays in the blob. They may have tried to use other reasoning...but this one does not fly.

How is it different than toothpaste???

Disingenuous statement by TSA. Just list it as a food item not allowed, like foreign fruits. Just ignorant crap from our government.

Happened to me.

Supremely annoying because it makes no sense.

I just didn't want to throw away peanut butter I bought when business traveling. Kind of a waste. But, as said above, TSA is theater so it doesn't have to make sense.

all your clothes take the shape of their luggage container; thus, your shirt is liquid...

Freeze and put on gel packs. They let you carry frozen foods on plane as long as they are frozen solid, Gel packs have to be solid as well.

These dickheads will probably issue another statement that say a hotdog is a sandwich.

Amorphous solid. So is glass. Glass just flows very very slowly.
