re: Is Peanut Butter a "liquid"?

Asphalt is a liquid at about 200 degrees F. At ambient temperatures it is a solid.
Water is like that. Above 32 degrees F it is a liquid; below 32 it is a solid.
You have never seen a Louisiana road that hasn't been maintained.
The asphalt is still expanding and contracting with the heat of the sun and in some spots you can see how it eventually gets routed by traffic creating channels in the road where tires meet the road.
But it will also crack like a solid.

Who needs peanut butter so bad they bring it to the airport?
I only eat locally sourced, small batch peanut butter made with pink Himalayan sea salt and fair trade Brazilian cocoa butter so I have to take a few jars with me when I travel.
Since there are no preservatives you need to stir it vigorously for about 10 minutes and then you have about a 30 second window to get it past TSA before it separates into the liquid and solid portions but it's doable and totally worth it.

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.

Have you ever watched people pump concrete into formed walls?

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.

When have you traveled? They are softer on toothpaste, but I've had normal toothpaste tubes removed when I forget them. Technically, they should take them but don't always. Best to travel with travel toothpaste.
Again, the rules are vague and enforced vaguely. Not a great combination.

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.

They did confiscate my toddlers squeeze pouch of pureed vegetables. We can all thank them for keeping the skies a little safer for us all.

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

I take it you have never consumed a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich?
Your heart may have issues but it is pretty good.

Amorphous solid. So is glass. Glass just flows very very slowly.
Posted on 3/23/23 at 1:32 pm to Fun Bunch
I'd say it's more of a gel, which also isn't permitted through TSA.
