Can you take syrup in carry on for flight?

[legalslave]

I wasn't sure where to ask this question so I picked my favorite Holland America boards. We are sailing out of Vancouver this weekend. Does anyone know if I can take Hershey's Carmel Syrup in my carry on bag on Alaska Airlines from Phoenix to Vancouver B.C.? It will not have ever been opened and still has the plastic seal on it.

Not if it is more than 3.4 ounces. That is the limit per item for liquids in carryon for flights. And all need to fit a quart size bag.

No. Wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in your checked luggage.

Thanks much for the quick replies and answers!

The rules are the same for all air lines flying out of the US -- 3 ounces.

 

Do you have time to shop when you get to Vancouver?

I do have time but is there a place near the intersection of W Hastings & Seymour?

And surprisingly enough peanut butter is also considered a liquid. Learned that one the hard way!

or 100ml if you are flying home from Canada.

If I were you,I would check with Hershey's Canada to make sure that product is available in Canada. I did a quick peek at the site and I don't see it there. You could contact them through the site.

A few years ago in Key West I had a piece of Key Lime pie with me and thought I would just eat it on the plane. Nope, I had to eat it before going through security.

This is because the restrictions don't apply only to liquids. The full description is "liquids, aerosols and gels".

 

A good rule of thumb is that if you can pour it, spray it or smear it, it's caught by the restrictions.

It looks to me like it's a plastic rather than a glass bottle so I think with some padding the risk of putting it in a checked bag should be minimal. You might also try posting to Kazu's Westerdam thread and ask someone disembarking in Vancouver to check availability at their stores.

That's a great way to think of it.

Yum, what a great idea! Yes, just put it in your checked luggage. Make sure it's in a zip-lock bag and padded with bubble wrap. Enjoy!

I think the PB looks like plastique explosives on the scanners. I am surprised after hand inspection they didn't allow it though if less than 3.4 oz.

 

The key lime pie should have been allowed through. I think the TSA agent probably wanted to eat the pie....didn't expect you to finish it before you went through!

Just about every souvenir store (there are loads) or just go a bit further into Gastown - maple syrup is EVERYWHERE.:D

Most definitely my choice, but OP is looking for Hershey's Carmel Syrup as an option to brining it on her flight.

[Dobermangal]

A 9 minute walk will take you from Hastings and Seymour to the London Drugs at 710 Granville.

Yes - Nesters, London Drugs, and Urban Fare all stock Hersheys syrups. Map to closest branches of all from your intersection. I'd do Nesters/LD first as they are right next to each other and also closer to you.

 

I can't swear I've seen the caramel syrup on the shelves in the nearest locations to you, but then I tend to avoid buying any syrup that doesn't come out of a tree!

Checked bag - and double bag it because of the depressurization. I'd pierce the foam inner seal and squeeze out the air to allow room for expansion.

 

My big question though is, "Why?" Gooey, creamy deliciousness? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Oops. Saw syrup and being Canadian and all that......:o

US Hershey's sells caramel, but Canadian Hershey's sells butterscotch syrup. No idea why, and I imagine the two are similar, but I doubt I'll be trying either as long as maple syrup exists! :)

Natural conclusion, eh? :)

Two words: Ice Cream.
