One note: if it behaves like dry ice in a cooler does, it can carbonate many of your food items. I've used dry ice on camping trips and ended up with carbonated fruit.



I can't tell if this is a warning, or a cool discovery.

I feel like carbonated fruit would be a treat, but I suspect I might be wrong?


It sizzles on your tongue when you bite it. I thought it was interesting but not desirable.


I have used this, in a more dangerous fashion, to recarbonate flat soda.


Drop a few pebbles of dry ice into a 2-liter bottle, cap, and monitor for plastic stretching sounds?


I would calculate what it would bear in terms of recarbonation, get the flat soda very cold (carbon dioxide enters solution preferentially at lower temperatures), weigh, drop, cap, and roll it down a hill. If no explosion, wait a couple of minutes just for safety.
