Lazy sunday afternoons and asphyxiation
Jul. 20th, 2008 11:35 pmI had a little over 5 pounds of dry ice left over from yesterday's party. If I didn't use it right away, it would just evaporate. What to do?
First, I tried making a vodka slushy. If you put a bottle of vodka in the freezer, it stays liquid, but it if you use dry ice, you can freeze it. Frozen vodka has the consistency of wet paste -- it's very slushy. The taste of frozen vodka is so frostbitingly cold that you don't really taste the alcohol.
Next, I decided to dump the rest of the dry ice into a pot of boiling water. There were several things wrong with this idea... not the least of which was the fact that I had just had two shots of vodka.
First, the good stuff. Here's how it looks:
And a movie:
Here's why it turned out to be a bad idea...

Wow... I should remember that for a price as low as $20, I can have all kinds of crazy once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Actually, it was more like $5, as dry ice is $1/lb.
