Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, and it skips the puddle
Dry ice is actually solid carbon dioxide. The fact that it can change its state to gas from solid without turning into liquid is what makes it unique and especially useful in the event of power failures. No meltwater soaking the food, no wet cardboard on a shipment. Unlike the cracked and block ice we also make, it just shrinks as it turns to vapor.
