Dry ice for my ice chest?

I discovered a trick with dry ice, magicians do something similar with flies. If you are camping somewhere near a beach with small baby crabs (about 2 inches across), catch one and place it near the dry ice in the cooler. I fanned the crab with a piece of cardboard to keep fresh air going to it, I didn’t want to suffocate it. After a few minutes, hand someone the “dead” crab. The heat from their hand will revive the crab. Hilarity ensues.

I protest most vehemently! :mad:

Dry ice is superior if you want to have frozen food. Wrapping thickly with layers of newspaper will let the chest contents stay at a higher temperature above freezing and make the dry ice last even longer. The time I used dry ice it lasted over double the amount of time ice did and the food was colder.

I’ve decided to try both ways myself.
I just rememberwed, my pickup has a built-in ice chest.

If you do, just pack dry ice around where they live. Really!
You’re not a susceptible adolescent boy, I hope. If you are, ignore the above.
