    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!

    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.

    @LoneHowler Год назад +406

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      they actually took a complicated problem and simplified it, lol. 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.

    Just graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and I'm surprised to see ASTM show up in a Food Theory video LMAO but yeah I always thought of peanut butter as being closer to a non-Newtonian fluid rather than a solid or a liquid. ASTM testing measures are rather specific and used in every industry specifically because arguments like these happened all the time before the organization was created. I trust their tests. In terms of why extra crunchy didn't run, it's because there are more peanuts and solids tend to expand under heat. It might actually be that the extra peanuts are expanding just enough so that it creates friction between the butter and the jar that's holding it. Interesting stuff all around here.
