People are STUPID
I cannot imagine. Burning your esophagus is a frightening thing -there are people who aren’t able to swallow food for the rest of their lives.
“Kaufman was rushed to an emergency room where doctors performed surgery to close holes in her stomach and esophagus, and to allow the nitrogen, which was quickly expanding from a liquid to a gas, to escape her body.”
“Marc Brumer, Kaufman’s lawyer, said she has racked up more than $135,000 in medical bills because of the incident.”
I think that is different. In that case, they are using as a tool to prepare the ice cream, not an ingredient to be served in it.
Why would anyone either drink or sell something like this? What you don’t know can kill you.
Police had to be summoned to clear the hospital parking lots and nearby streets of personal injury lawers fighting to get in the hospital door.
Reports of some lawyers landing on the rooftop Emergency Helicopter Landing Area in their corporate helicopters have not yet been confirmed.
You can call them and the guy (really friendly and nice guy) who sells it can tell you ALL ABOUT the liquid nitrogen. It keeps the ice cream cold.
Their phone number is (415) 863-1518.
“When I was a kid I saw several liquid nitrogen presentations.”
When I was a kid (high school) a fellow student and I put on liquid air demonstrations for a science fair. Our physics teacher got the liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen from the cryogenics lab at Iowa State College (University). We demonstrated the oxidative abilities of the liquid oxygen, and the super cooling abilities of the liquid nitrogen. With the liquid nitrogen we froze a piece of inner tube (for a nail) and made a mercury hammer. Then we drove the rubber nail into a block of wood with the hammer. Took a hollow rubber ball, bounded it, then immersed it in the liquid nitrogen and threw it against a wall...of course it shattered. Then I immersed my hand into the liquid nitrogen, and after a few seconds withdrew it, in full possession of my fingers and they still had full movement. That was when we got the Oh’s and Awe’s. That works, because the heat of the hand gasifies the nitrogen in contact with it and forms a temporary insulating layer. We had 5 demonstrations in the course of the evening. And I immersed my hand each of those 5 times.
Risky? No, not if you understand the laws of thermodynamics.
Some years later, in industry, we used liquid nitrogen to freeze the tube going into the braider in making wire braid hydraulic hose.
Darwin Award!
Did she have a brain freeze?

We had a cryogenics demonstration when I was in junior high. The guy took a piece of gravel and placed it on an anvil.
He then put a drop of liquid Oxygen on the gravel.
Then he hit it with a hammer.
BANG!!!
No sympathy from me. That`s naked singularity stupid and stupid SHOULD hurt,

Hold my beaker and watch this...
To be fair to the bar in the story, I cannot recall that drinking it was specifically prohibited.
I have a true story from a good friend. My friend kept his liquor in the freezer in an attempt to hide it from teenage Son, when Son stayed at Daddies. Daddy always marked the liquid level on his bottles to track this. Well, son was sneaking liquor from the bottles and bringing the level back up with water. Eventually, the “liquor” started freezing! BUSTED!! Son wasn’t good at physics OR chemistry.
I wonder who she voted for.
We only get one guess and we would all be right.
Another case of stupidity. Life really IS harder if you are stupid.
Life is a hands on experience. Don’t put your life in somebody elses hand if you can manage for yourself. If you can’t for whatever reason, be sure they know what they are doing. I don’t believe in do-it-youself surgery or other similar things so I leave them to the experts.
Of course she was the victim, it was really the stupid bar tender’s fault. But she should have anticipated there was a risk.
Great show!
Kids simply do not learn science anymore in the public schools.
It is because of ignorance of basic scientific principles that the populace can be duped into accepting the “global warming” and “climate change” propaganda.
Are these people stark-raving mad———or just bored to death?
