Question by ariesinardi: Is it safe to drink water that has been use to dilute dry ice?
Sometimes we put dry ice on water to watch how the “smoke” gets away, but then when the dry ice has been completely “melted” is it safe to drink the water? I suppose it will be leaden with CO2… is the CO2 content has an effect?

When dry ice “melts” it actully vaporizes into the air. I have used it in punch for Halloween parties and it is fine to drink the punch. Go ahead!
