The TSA Just Officially Declared Peanut Butter a Liquid - Thrillist
"You may not be nuts about it," the TSA wrote in an Instagram post's caption, "but TSA considers your PB a liquid. In carry-on, it needs to be 3.4 oz. or less." The post itself features a jar of peanut butter placed next to the definition of a liquid. "A liquid has no shape and it takes a shape dictated by its container."
According to one Instagram user that replied to the post, by that definition, so are cats. Instead of finding the argument's fallacies, some users proceeded to share their own personal experience involving TSA and peanut butter, and one of them brought up what sounds like an actual paradox.
"I was getting on a flight to go back to college. I had some bread and peanut butter," wrote user @TopUmbreon. "TSA [m]ade me throw out my PB. She offered to let me make a sandwich with it first. Which begs the question, if I had used up the entire jar to make sandwiches, why would that have been ok?"
