    I cant think of any reason that someone in yerushalayim should want to buy ice.

    Maybe it’s a science project?

    Maybe it’s an inside joke between 1mb and ywnhocker3?

    Is this for the Generations Center show? (mentioned dry ice in their Jerusalem show in a Google eBook)

    Why would there be less of a reason to buy dry ice in Yerushalayim than in any other location?

    Because of the Jerusalem Dry Ice Tax of 1989

    nope this is not a joke neither inside nor out.

    I would like to make fizzy fruit, or carbonated fruit, ive heard about this and would like to try it, for that I need dry ice, not regular ice.

    thank you

    So apparently you can make dry ice yourself if you have a Carbon Dioxide fire extinguisher.

    Look it up

    Most 7-11’s sell ice, but you have to bring your own towel to dry it.

    Dry ice is used for shipping things that must stay frozen (e.g meats, blood samples).

    If you do find some be aware of the safety precautions that you need to use- you need heavy protective gloves and safety goggles to avoid getting a freeze-burn from the “smoke” released. Dry ice, for those who don’t know, is frozen carbon dioxide, which is much colder than frozen water (-20 degrees C vs 0 degrees C). It is used for snap freezing things like cells and tissue. It is also used by dermatologists to freeze off warts. I doubt you will find any outside a controlled lab or clinical environment.

    -20 degrees C vs 0 degrees C

    Sublimation temperature of carbon dioxide is -78.5 Degrees Celsius

    I doubt you will find any outside a controlled lab or clinical environment.

    I believe some supermarkets sell it

    How do you say dry ice in Ivrit?

    Meno, you’re right. I actually was thinking about practically how you would use it to freeze a sample, since a solid cannot transfer its coldness to another solid efficiently- if you add ethanol to a bucket with dry ice, the temperature is around -20 and anything you put inside will freeze immediately.

    In the U.S., many regular ice suppliers sell dry ice. It’s really no big deal to handle it if you use simple precautions. As I mentioned above, it’s commonly used for shipping stuff. Liquid nitrogen, on the other hand, is hard to handle and probably is harder to find. There are some cool (sorry) liquid nitrogen videos on Youtube.

    A little googling uncovered this dry ice provider in Israel: S.K.I. Marketing and Distributors Agencies Ltd. – Kiryat Ata. Their domain name has dryice in it.
