Dry Ice Fun

"Would you say that i have a plethora of fireworks?"

"A what?"

"A plethora"

"....
Oh yes! you have a plethora."

"You know it's bad when you still have fireworks from the 4th of July after New Years is done." (Joel). Joel and I are in a very similar boat. I've been lighting off fireworks here and there for a while now, but i still have too many left over. What a terrible problem I have run into! Anyway, this post isn't even about fireworks. It's about me getting bored with all of my fireworks and trying something new. Dry ice.

Dry ice is a gas at room temperature, but is purchased as a solid. When water is added to the mixture, the dry ice sublimates and changes directly from a solid into a gas. Some genius figured out that it's a good idea to mix the two inside of a shut bottle. Of course, i had to try it.



No, I'm not in that video, but i did try it. And it was excellent. If you have the means, i would highly recommend trying it out some time.
