In the late 90s when I was young I remember getting this packet of something where you'd mix it with your favorite drink and it would change the color and texture of it after you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. But for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. I know it was for kids and had a picture of a mad scientist (perhaps a cartoon version of one) on it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[Anonymous No.5563089]

>>5563047
Thanks, it was somewhat similar but I specifically remember the instructions being to put it in the fridge, because I think it turned the drink into some sort of different texture, maybe something similar to Jello? I was like 7 so it's vague.

Also it had a scientist on the packet, I'm almost positive.

Why would that stop you? It's just bubble gum that's been granulated.

Get gum. Freeze it so it gets brittle. Pulverize in a good blender or coffee grinder. The key is to keep it cold so it blends into a powder. This may require putting some dry ice in with the gum while you blend it. (You can buy that at a supermarket or welding supply store, so it's not exactly hard to find)

Yes. So use hubba bubba gum to make the gum powder. They still make the larger pieces.

>>Dry ice is not a widely available thing where I live

I doubt that, unless you are living somewhere truly out in the middle of nowhere. It is a very common industrial item even it if seems unusual to the average person. If there is any sort of industry where you live then I guarantee it is available, it's just a matter of knowing where to get it from. Liquid nitrogen works too, and that's also very common (and cheap), but it is more difficult to transport since it is much less practical to transport.

...usually these sorts of places sell through distributors. So contact one of them and ask who their distributors are.

Also check your local phone listings for anywhere that sells welding gases--they usually have it as well. In a major city like London there are tens of thousands of people who use welding gases on a daily basis. Someone is catering to that market.

>...usually these sorts of places sell through distributors. So contact one of them and ask who their distributors are.

Sorry if that last statement wasn't clear enough. Here's how it works: companies like the links provided make the dry ice and sell it. You can buy it straight from them but you can also buy it from their distributors. So, for example: You pick up your telephone and you call one of them. You say: "I'm located X and I want to buy a little dry ice, can you help me" they will tell you which shops near you will have it. Those places will sell it by weight. You could buy half a kilo or you could buy a hundred kilos, it's up to you.

[Anonymous No.5566273]

>>5566263
So you want me to bypass the companies who buy it in bulk and go straight to the companies who sell it in bulk? Or you want them to bother looking through their records to find their nearest buyer to me so I can buy a handfull? Shit don't work like that around here buddy

You said you didn't want to buy a lot. So you deal with the small-scale retailers rather than the companies who sell in bulk. The companies who sell in bulk can tell you who the small retailers are.

>Or you want them to bother looking through their records to find their nearest buyer

That. But you make it sound like it's a complicated bother. It's not. They won't have to look up anything, they'll simply be able to tell you. It's their job. That's what they do every single day. I can't imagine it taking more than 20 seconds on the phone:
You: Hello, I'm at X, I need to buy some dry ice. Where is your closest retailer?
Them: Oh, the Tesco's at Y.

>>5566282

Yes, I saw that you said that, but I don't belive you. Don't get me wrong--I don't think you're lying to be malicious. I think you just don't know. I think dry ice is being sold right under your nose and you don't know about it because you haven't looked for it.

I wouldn't expect you to find Mexican food ingredients in England. But I do expect a terribly common industrial item to be available in London, yes. It might seem odd to the average person but trust me, it's there. You just need to pick up the phone and ask where to find it.

>I am 98% sure I will never hear the sentence
Why? Have you ever looked for it before? Hell, the meat that was shipped in to your local supermarket was probably packed in dry ice when it was shipped in. I'm not sure how much more clear I can make it: dry ice is incredibly common. It has many many uses. Saying you can't find it in London is like saying you can't find a hammer in London. It's that common. It simply "flies below the radar" of the average person who rarely, if ever, needs it.
