Dec 23, 2016 at 8:21 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany The easy availability of dry ice in grocery stores appears to be a USA-only phenomenon as far as I can tell. Even in Canada (at least Ontario) one has to go to an industrial supplier and deal with their nuisance factors (sometimes out of the way locations, minimum order size etc.).

Jul 19, 2016 at 18:44 comment added Avelina I would like to point out that dry ice should never be used in a normal ice chest. Carbon dioxide in gas form uses a lot more space than as a solid. If the lid of your ice chest fits too snugly or has a lock on it you risk blowing up the ice chest. Styrofoam boxes are usually used for dry ice.
Jul 19, 2016 at 13:02 comment added DJClayworth Buying dry ice seems pointless. It would be much easier to keep an ice chest cool by buying ice every day. It is also possible to buy fridges that operate from a car's 12 volt system.

Jul 19, 2016 at 10:07 comment added mts +1 that's a great first question on here! However it would be great if you could narrow down the countries in question as it might (and only might because I have no idea) be too broad to ask about all the EU.
