Peanut Butter is now a liquid. Yes, you read that correctly, Loyal Theorist. That smooth, gooey, creamy peanut-y goodness is now classified as a liquid by the TSA. And that means you can NO longer fly with it on an airplane (unless it’s under 3oz, of course). But why? Why would the TSA do this? And will you never be able to eat peanuts, peanut butter cookies, or a Butterfinger on an airplane again? Let’s find out!

The reason TSA had to define creams pastes and gels separately, is because the average traveling public don't understand viscosity with fluids. I work in an airport and I know of three separate incidents where a passenger thought that their wine wasn't liquid because it's "a dry wine" and a passenger that thought their camera wasn't an electronic because they didn't buy it in the electronics section. I even know of at least one incident where someone thought water wasn't a liquid.

The TSA could have avoided this headache by classifying peanut butter as a gel, paste, or cream. That way, they could still get the restriction on it, and be accurate while doing so.

It's classified as an LGA which stands for liquid, gel, aerosol. Anything that can't hold its shape without a container falls under LGA.

I used to consult for a company that sold X-ray scanners to TSA. The software sometimes flagged peanut butter as plastic explosives, to the point where their engineers would joke that the quickest way to an interrogation room was to pack a jar of peanut butter with a wire sticking out.

[@Rodrigo-kq3js]

​@@mixttimeyoutubers

[@marnilicious3353]

I suspect that the reason sometimes channels have their intros and sometimes don't has to do with when they were produced. There was probably some cut off point where they stopped producing videos with the intro, and the videos we do see with the intro are just videos that were produced before that time and are only just now being released. You could also consider that there's an experiment taking place to see if videos perform better with or without the intro.

[@stupidandrandom5540]

3:35 MatPat: enough hypothetical questions. Also MatPat: *asks a hypothetical question*

[@capybara2515]

true

[@jonathanrixstine7231]

Just a note from a materials science and engineering major (MSE) about the claim at 4:45 that the particles within a solid are unable to slide past each other: the particles (atoms), or in some cases molecules, that make up a solid are able to move past each other under certain conditions. This can more or less be exemplified in the phenomenon of mechanical deformation (elastic and plastic); there are other MSE principles that allow atoms or molecules within a solid to move past each other, such as diffusion in alloys and viscoelasticity in polymers, but mechanical deformation is probably the easiest to describe. I would encourage you to look up mechanical deformation in solids and stress-strain curves if you're interested in learning more.

Would you rather create a new category or classification for every single item that didn't fit squarely into the solid, liquid, gel, categories? And then have to create new rules/polices and limits on every single new category that you created, all at the same time trying to teach this insanely complicated system to bunch of new hires praying they don't screw it up, or that they care enough to not screw it up? Yeah it's just easier to lump things together into already existing categories even if they don't technically make any sense.

Technically I have 100% peanut peanut butter every time I grind my own peanuts at the store. All the machine does is grind whole shelled peanuts. Absolutely no water or any other ingredients are added besides the nuts themselves (I get plain store ground peanut butter so not even any flavouring is added). The nuts themselves have enough peanut oil in them that they are able to become semi solid just by the grinding process on their own. So the TSA is literally should classify a bad of shelled peanuts as a liquid too, as they contain all the ingredients needed to make liquid peanut butter.

If you heat peanut butter up a little bit, it’s for sure a liquid. Plus that oil that separates from the good stuff is also a liquid.

[@petelee2477]

Not the Jif extra chunky kind lol

[@PyroGam3s]

yes, but unless you are traveling through an area that's like 120 degrees most of time it's not, and I completely forgot my point on this :)

Make sure to eat the brown ones, then you should be fine

[@LunaWitcherArt]

Why do you people need to bring jars of edible stuff on the plain. Just make a sandwich, put THAT in your carry-on, and pack the jar in the check-out bag like a normal person.

[@nighthawk6777]

I love the editor notes! Oh, and Matt's in this vid XD

[@TheGuardianSoul]

A. The fact that you tested 6 different jars of peanut butter & 5 out of 6 showed liquid, then they were correct. B. Criminals will always find a way to become more snicker, which is why I'm not surprised that security found a weapon within peanut butter jars, so 2 points on security. And C, Even though you admitted yourself at the end of this video, at least you explained to everyone respectfully on why peanut butter is on the list in the first place, so 3 points to the security team. In the end of this video, there right, we should apologize for feeling guilty (for those who argued on this subject), & we should respect their rules and understanding of reasons.

One of my favorite bits of humor from the TSA is on their "What Can I Bring?" List. This is there right now (I checked). And I quote: Light Saber: Carry On Bags: Yes Checked Bags: Yes Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist to create a real lightsaber. However, you can pack a toy lightsaber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the force be with you.

[@alexjokinen7867]

As someone who's flown frequently, these terms like "liquid" from the TSA have never really been too confusing to me and I think their provided definition is very SOLID Maybe It's only an American thing to categorise them differently, but whenever I've gone through security at an airport they define cream, spreads and liquids all under liquid

[@flatturdphd2066]

Yep, the CAA (uk version of tsa) define a liquid as anything that can be spread or poured

[@capybara2515]

haha I get it SOLID

[@firdanharbima6997]

[@wmdkitty]

Or maybe you're as dumb as the TSA agents and don't know what a liquid is.

[@jypsridic]

They added creams, gels, and pastes so that pedantic assholes wouldn't constantly go "It's not a liquid it a semi-solid!!!!"

I love sandwiches with peanut butter and slice of cheese on top of it. That prevents peanut butter to glue to you mouth and it great flavors combination. I am suprised that other people find this very gross 😆 Btw peanut butter is called in Dutch peanut cheese - pindakaas 🤓

Food theory idea: how do you actually eat healthier, no like actually. There’s been many health fads like the anti gluten movement and dieting culture is crazy now days so what steps should we actually take to get better

That would take forever to film as there are several diets lmfao

This is honestly a great series idea like how to balance foods; what fads are true and most definitely not; how do we actually use food in our bodies stuff like that.

[@alldayagain]

This is actually a field of products I have expertise in, as I work in end-level peanut production. I'll watch and add any thoughts here: 1. The viscosity of peanut butter can vary quite heavily, depending on how much thickening agent is added. I've have various ones runnier than a smoothie. Oh... well that's all the insight I've got for points he covers... Well...

Sometimes when I see movies that are 2000 and below it takes me back to a simpler time. Things weren't perfect but people and things were more easy going.

That's why the phrase goes "ignorance is bliss". It was more easy-going, because they knew less about everything that was going on around them.
