I think that'd shake out to being an air conditioner with nitrogen as the "air." You'd lose some nitrogen every use, but nitrogen is cheap.

The problem is your piece of pizza would become as brittle and sharp as ice, and likely to injure you if you handled it.

Who wants to cool pizza? If imagine this would mostly be used on drinks, or frozen treats like the ice cream in their picture.

Terrible use for ice cream too, actually. Flash freezing it and not whipping it at the same time totally ruins ice cream.

Ah brick of frozen milk... large ice crystals to crunch on and a surface like concrete. My favorite kind of ice cream

Properly flash-frozen ice cream is actually very smooth since the ice crystals are very small. The water freezes before it has a chance to form large crystals.

Neat. I mean makes sense considering dip n dots

Haha probably, but it was the only thing I could think of that people would want to be cold faster. Maybe some other desserts, like lemon meringue or banana cream pies.

wouldn't you just get a huge dipping dot?

I‘m baffled our usernames only differ by one letter. My idea was, if you „sprayed“ the item from afar, it would cool the surrounding air and only ever so slightly touch that item. I don’t think this would flash freeze it. Feel free to correct me.
