Can glow sticks go in carry on?

Can glow sticks, glow toys, glow bracelets, etc. be in carry-on luggage? I think there is liquid in them. I was going to put them in our carry-on but now am wondering if I should. We are leaving tomorrow. Appreciate the feedback.

They do contain liquids, so if they are 3.4 oz or less and are so marked they can go in your 3-1-1 bag in your carry on. Otherwise, no.

because of size of them I would them put in checked bag even if under the liquid allowed. to put them in the baggie will probably break them causing them to start glowing and not last.

I don't understand how putting glow sticks or bracelets in a quart sized bag will break them.

I would only put them in the baggie in the packaging, if the packaging listed the volume (it doesn't so this is all moot). But from the packages I have purchased, they wouldn't fit into the baggie like that. So I would have to take them out. But then we're stuck with the volume not being listed, even if you found a brand that listed the ounces on the packaging. I have never tried to put any of my glowsticks into a 311 baggie, but I bet that even if you got them in just fine, rustling around in your carryon bag would crack them and start the chemical reaction early. Of course, if they made the packaging small enough to go in the baggie it would be fine.

But I've still never seen packaging for them that gives the ounces of liquid.

So we check them.

I took some on our trip and put them in hand luggage, in their original packaging with no problems.
