Ice of Dryness - I ate some!

Frozen CO2! Wow, 10 lBs of dry ice + science class = fun fun fun - especially bottles of water, and millk! I dropped a chunk in my friend's milk, and it bubbles and solidified the milk, and made pseudo-ice cream.

Then, of course, it put it on my friend's arm. He proceeded to ignore it for a second or so, and then yelled and yanked away his arm. I then turned to my other friend, the braver one, and he managed a whopping 30 seconds - in that time a patch of skin the size of a quarter froze.

Well, at least you can get rid of warts that way.

Woo! I just ate a piece!

Did you know you can stick a piece in your mouth, or lick it like ice cream? It won't freeze your tongue because it freezes your saliva instead! I crushed up a piece about the size of a dime until it was really powdery, and then ate it. It tasted wierd. Real wierd.

I ate dry ice :p

It tastes really, really strange, especially if you crush it to powder - then the taste is really strong. If you just lick a block of dry ice - the taste is weak.

You're strange.

Hey, I'm 17, and I read up about it carefully on Dry Ice experiments, AND asked the science teacher before doing it.
