    You can do this with acetone and dry ice, too. Used it to cold brand cattle. It blanches the hair pigment so the brand shows up white. Minimal discomfort for the animal and very little chance of infection or complication.
    Also in my undergrad chem class my professor, James Marshall, gargled liquid nitrogen AND stuck his finger in it. KING.

    I'm guessing the alcohol is used as a liquid medium for dry-ice temperature as it's freezing point is way lower than CO2

      No, it has to be dry ice. Dry ice is much colder than the ice in your refrigerator and dry ice doesn't melt into water and dilute your alcohol.

      Not unless you have a way to cool CO2 down to -109 F. And if you do have a way to do that, then you don't need to make this stuff:)

      Just grab a fire extinguisher, then release the carbon dioxide into the pillow case until it's empty and wow! Dry Ice!

    Would it be ok to use this for food processing? Like freeze fruit or cream? I mean can you eat it or makes it poison?

      Use ethanol alcohol instead so freeze food can be edible.
