Liquid Nitrogen - coldest thing I know of...
It'll freeze a rose solid.

Dry ice is carbon dioxide in its solid state. It's pretty cold, so don't touch it with your bare hands. If you put it in a pool it will make 'fog' which is really water vapor. No harm will come to your pool and it will all sublimate (go from solid to gas) fairly quickly and you won't worry about it. In the same way that ice if you put it in your pool will melt and be gone. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous.

"Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda water. Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. Dry Ice changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."'

Carbon dioxide is an atmospheric gas comprised of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. A very widely known chemical compound, it is frequently known by its formula CO2. In its solid state, it is commonly called dry ice.

Everyone has already explained about the frozen carbon dioxide part, but nobody mentioned how cool it is to put in a punch bowl at a Halloween party, to make a spooky centerpiece.

Dry ice is a special form of ice that never turns into a liquid. It is either a solid or a gas.

Dry ice is Carbon Dioxide gas in its solid state. It is -109F and should not be touched with bare hands.

Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide. It's very cold and you can't touch it with your bare hands without getting burned.

A solidified carbon dioxide frozen below 78.5 C. (above which it becomes a gas used in refrigerators). It is good in coolers for shipping fish. It will freeze your fingers if you handle it. It will bubble and fume if you put it in plain water.

frozen carbon dioxide
it goes through sublimation which means something goes directly from a solid to a gas NO liquid
frozen co2s no

YES IT WILL MAKE SMOKE
