Hmmm... I had a bag FULL of glow stick, like 2 tubes of 50 bracelets, and full of other things, and they let me in... Maybe they were fed up with searching my bag, which was kinda hard with all this things in it I also had a plastic bag with longer glowstocks (necklaces)...
Happy they let me in !! 125 glowsticks !!!!!
Sorry for your lollies and glowsticks...
