You may have as many 100 mL things as fit in your one quart/one liter clear plastic Ziplock bag (approximately 9.46 or 10) AND they can all be the same thing, but must be separate containers of no more than 100 mL. Some sites say 100 g is OK too if labelled in mass. They don't consider density. They also consider ONLY the declared size, not whether it is half empty.
