it's actually much easier than this makes out. Sodastream bottle, some kind of cloth like a tea towel, pillowcase or even a sock over the end, let 'er rip and you have a chunk of dry ice.
- function_seven 3y agoThat’s cheating! You outsourced the pressurization step. :)
- pmx 3y agoindeed! I also don't dig my own well every time i wish to boil water for tea!
- civilitty 3y agoYou're supposed to just dig the well once.
- mometsi 3y agoRelying on past me is cheating. Current me needs to finish it all in one go.

- chaps 3y agoDone this with 10lb CO2 containers used for brewing and such. Really doesn't take much CO2 to make a good amount of dry ice.
- JohnFen 3y agoAt that point, why not just buy the dry ice directly? It would surely be cheaper...
- doloputer 3y agoI have never seen plain dry ice for sale anywhere, though I have not gone looking too hard. I have seen the dumping some liquid CO2 into a special sock method though.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoI see it in supermarkets, often kept by the customer service counter. I've seen several places requiring ID to purchase dry-ice to avoid youngsters making soda-bottle bombs with it.
- HWR_14 3y agoIt's dangerous enough (suffocation, freezing) that there are plenty of reasons to require an age minimum. I don't think I've seen dry-ice in supermarkets since COVID started, but I haven't been looking much either.
- gmiller123456 3y agoNever disappeared around here. A lot of people rely on it to get their frozen stuff home without thawing out. So it's more available in rural places where people will have a long drive home.
- sneak 3y agoAhhh, that makes a ton more sense now. As one of the aforementioned soda-bottle-bomb-making-youngsters, I had no idea what people's legitimate uses for it were outside of party tricks.
