Will peanut butter protect an egg from cracking?

No, peanut butter will not protect an egg from cracking.

Here's why:

* Peanut butter is not a strong enough barrier: While it has some viscosity, it's not rigid or thick enough to withstand the impact of a fall or pressure.

* Peanut butter is sticky: It might actually make the egg more likely to break, as the sticky peanut butter could pull on the eggshell during a fall.

* Peanut butter is porous: It allows air and moisture to pass through, which could weaken the eggshell over time.

For protecting eggs, you'd need something strong, rigid, and preferably airtight. Think of materials like:

* Bubble wrap: This is the classic egg protector, providing cushioning against impact.

* Styrofoam: This provides both cushioning and insulation.

* Thick cardboard boxes: These can offer some protection against pressure.
