Wink Whipped Lightning?

For checked baggage: There is no quantity limit for non-flammable personal items (to include non-flammable aerosols).

If the personal item is flammable, in the form of an aerosol such as hairspray, or a liquid like fingernail polish remover, then the capacity of the container may not exceed 18oz (.5kg) or 16 fl.oz. (470mL).

The total quantity of personal items that would otherwise be classified as hazardous material may not exceed 70oz (2kg) or 68 fl.oz. (2L).
Bumping up an old thread...

How would this rule apply to Whipped Lightning, the infamous ~40-proof alcohol-infused whipped cream? It is an aerosol, most certainly flammable, and could be considered a personal item (for consumption and/or body adornment), so would I be able to pack up to 5 x 375ml bottles into my checked bag?

NB: this is not considered a food item as yet (not regulated by the FDA); in fact, the first listed ingredient is grain neutral spirits and the second is cream...
