If you’re looking for a fun way to beat the heat, fizzy fruit is the ultimate summer snack. Fruit gets carbonated when you pack it with dry ice, so you end up with fruit that literally tingles on your tongue—no added sugar or soda required! It’s a fun science-meets-snack project that’s perfect for summer parties, kid-friendly experiments, or just cooling off on a hot day. —Hetal Vasavada, San Francisco, California

Ingredients
- 2 pounds dry ice
- Juicy fruit like kiwi, grapes or oranges,
Directions
- Add dry ice to the bottom of a cooler (about 7 quarts). Lay a towel over the top of the dry ice so the fruit doesn’t come into direct contact with the dry ice. Place as much fruit on top as will fit in the cooler.
- Close the cooler and tightly wrap it in several layers of plastic. Set it aside for 12-24 hours before opening the cooler and eating the fizzy fruit.
