Well, if you were to do that and shake it vigorously...

I know, too much and I have a dry ice bomb of sorts. *Still, I wonder if just enough would
do the trick? *Think of the possiblilites, your own carbonated orange juice or lemonaid.

Richard Kinch seems to have quit reading RCM. But you might have a
look at his web site for information on carbonating. Lots of good
info.

For Dry Ice try the yellow pages. Here places that sell dry ice are
listed in the yellow pages under both Dry and under Ice.

I thought Richard Kinch might speak up here, but he seems to have quit
reading RCM. But have a look at his web site.

Since we are talking about hare-brained ideas, if my coke is flat, can I
put a bit of dry
ice in it and recarbonate it if I screw the lid on?

Tried it, doesn't recarbonate it. I dropped a tablespoon or so of powdered
dry ice into a 20 oz glass about 2/3 full of Coke. Got lots of bubbling and
fizzing and a cool fog rolling off the top - it was definitely worth it when
I walked outside to sit for lunch with some fellow students back in grad
school :-). Problem is you need the pressure to drive lots of CO2 into
solution to get the proper amount of carbonation, the dry ice wasn't nearly
enough at atmospheric pressure.
