Apparently, recently there has been a debate about this as someone tried to carry Peanut Butter through airport security, and it went viral.

TSA had to issue a statement, saying they considered Peanut Butter to be a liquid because it "takes the shape dictated by its container".

What say you?

Does not constitute a liquid.

Once heated it's a molten liquid That can stick to the roof of your mouth and leave burns that defy the laws of thermodynamics.

semi-solid would be my best guess as to describe it.

I say it's like mud.

Fun fact: Asphalt is a "liquid." The stuff that makes up roads and you drive on is liquid.

No wonder the roads in LA are crap.

I've run into issues with peanut butter and TSA in the past.

No. Neither is regular butter.

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.

That's a fluid. All liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquid.

I think someone is confusing liquid with fluid.

Certain smooth, oily peanut butters could flow over time (if laid open sideways, for example), but they're clearly not a liquid in current state.
