Who remembers "Dry Ice",and is it still used these days,? .?

This is an update,and thanks to all of you for answering the question. Unfortunately,I can only pick one answer,though I would like to pick them all. I'll make a decission tomorrow. The reason I asked this question,is that here in Australia,I never hear of it being used these days.

The ice cream order is shipped with dry ice to the theater. We'll often play with it. Once I walked back to find the entire concession stand covered in fog.
Another day Zack and I were trying to make a glove explode. It was entertaining.

OldGroupiesNeverD ie	Posted Jul 5th, 2009 at 2:10AM Yes - I work on live shows, and we still use it fairly regularly. It can be a bit dangerous in confined spaces though, so it's going out of fashion somewhat. Most shows now opt for mineral-oil hazers in its place. But still, nothing creeps along the floor like dry ice. It's very good for horror effects and the like. :) Rated: +2Vote for this!
