"I have always heard the term dry ice, but quite frankly have no clue what it is made of, where it comes from, or even what its main purposes are. Nor have I ever seen any dry ice. "You may know all these things and think I am a very uninformed and unintelligent human, but I dont care."
Sigh....

My siblings and I knew how dry ice was made (carbon dioxide) when we were 6 years old in the first grade.
The ice cream man would give us a chunk if we had a towel and asked nicely.
We would put the tab of dry ice in a cup of salty water around which we had formed a sand or dirt "volcano" to make it more authentic.

Yeah, that’s a very weird comment. Who doesn’t know what high pressure, cold compressed CO2 is? I’ve never met anyone that didn’t have experience with dry ice. I used to love to throw chunks in as we were preparing the hot bath when the kids were babies. They loved the science and excitement as I explained it to them. *sigh* *sigh* :(
