How do you use dry ice to cool water or food?
The only cleaning method I have heard of that involves dry ice is removing chewing gum from fabric. You freeze the chewing gum to make it brittle and quickly crush it and brush it off the fabric. You might consider tile removal to be a form of cleaning. To remove asphalt floor tile, you can use blocks of dry ice to, again, make the mastic brittle and pop the tiles up. This technique is used when there is the potential to cause damage to asbestos-containing tiles or mastic and produce friable asbestos by using other methods.
In the 1920's who invented gum?
Believe it or not, chewing gum in various forms has existed since at least the Neolithic period. 5,000 year old chewing gum with tooth imprints, made of birch bark tar, has been found in Finland. The bark tar of which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages. The ancient Mayans used chicle as a base for making a gum-like substance. Women in particular used this gum as a mouth freshener. Also, the Florentine Codex refers to the use of chicle by women. Forms of chewing gums were also used in Ancient Greece. The Greeks chewed mastic gum, made from the resin of the mastic tree. Many other cultures have chewed gum-like substances made from plants, grasses, and resins. The American Indians chewed resin made from the sap of spruce trees. The New England settlers picked up this practice, and in the early 1880s attempts were made to commercially market spruce gum. Around 1850 a gum made from paraffin wax was developed and soon exceeded the spruce gum in popularity. Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was imported from Mexico for use as a rubber substitute. Chicle did not succeed as a replacement for rubber, but as a gum it soon dominated the market. Chicle gum, and gum made from similar latexes, had a smoother and softer texture and held flavor better. In 1848, John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum. William Semple filed the first patent on chewing gum on December 28, 1869.
