Wonder Why

What ever happened to dry ice? It has a lot of advantages.

It doesn't cause accidents in streets.

It's a lot harder to form.

It's much rarer.

But the best news?

It disappears just being outside on the street and when it gets wet, it just bubbles away!

You have to ask a store employee to fetch it from the cooooooler. Dangerous without gloves.

tourist towns. I've seen it at Walmart, Kroger, Publix and other supermarkets.

I was comparing Dry ice to regular ICE. That's why I placed it in General (politics) rather than Lounge (no politics). Also, the last sentence was intended to make the point.

Others got it. I apologize if it was not clear to you.
