So what exactly is visible in dry ice mist (see every 80s pop video)? Edit: NM, Wikipedia says "condensing water vapor", indeed.

  Yes, it's called dry ice because if you look at a phase diagram, a liquid can't exist at atmospheric pressure, so carbon dioxide ice transitions directly from solid to gas (called sublimating rather than evaporating/melting). One of those neat chemistry things.
