has to get tremendously cold before it’ll freeze so if we mix in some chunks

it’ll freeze so if we mix in some chunks

it’ll freeze so if we mix in some chunks of dry ice you can see the ice boils

of dry ice you can see the ice boils

of dry ice you can see the ice boils violently until the temperature cools

violently until the temperature cools

violently until the temperature cools down around minus 109 Fahrenheit now

down around minus 109 Fahrenheit now

down around minus 109 Fahrenheit now we’ve got a makeshift cryogenic napalm

we’ve got a makeshift cryogenic napalm

we’ve got a makeshift cryogenic napalm so let’s see what happens if we drop in

so let’s see what happens if we drop in

so let’s see what happens if we drop in a gummy worm this sub-zero slurry is so

a gummy worm this sub-zero slurry is so

a gummy worm this sub-zero slurry is so cold that it flash freezes the worm

cold that it flash freezes the worm

cold that it flash freezes the worm completely solid in under 20 seconds in

in the center of the groove then fill it

in the center of the groove then fill it up with your favorite drink you’ll see

up with your favorite drink you’ll see

up with your favorite drink you’ll see that the instant it touches the dry ice

that the instant it touches the dry ice

that the instant it touches the dry ice it’ll fog over with a misty white vapor
