I 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.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoI buy it on camping trips. It has a major benefit of not getting your stuff wet as it melts.
