It’s really just a mind battle. First bite’s the hard one, then power through.

eating an apple while backpacking is amazing. And ANY cold sugar drink while riding is a divine thing

About a month ago, I was on a ride that ended up being a little longer than my water could support. Because of COVID, all the usual places were closed up. I still had about 10 mi to go before I could get home, but I grabbed an apple off a tree as I was riding by. That was the best apple I had ever tasted, and it gave me enough hydration for the rest of my ride.

anyone done carbonated fruit? allegedly a little $5 of crack sized chunk of dried ice in a nalgene in the fridge will do it without exploding it
Or you might explode your fridge. I work a job where we often had big pieces of dry ice. I kept myself amused by smashing up small pieces, sealing them in a film canister, and leaving them upside down on coworker’s desks. A few minutes later the canister makes a loud pop and shoots a few feet in the air. I’d imagine you could get a big bang if you put enough dry ice in a nalgene and sealed it tight.

I used to do a similar thing with hydrogen in deli cups. If you get the mixture just right you can hit the warehouse ceiling.

No, I hate imperial measurements. I have no idea how much dry ice it would take to blow up a nalgene, but it could be a bummer if your crack to grams calculations are off.

A pea sized piece in a 1.5 ml eppendorf tube makes a surprisingly loud bang.
Wrap with parafilm for extra pressure buildup.
I’m told.
I remember being in middle school and making a big 2L dry ice bomb that I threw in the street just as my mean vice principal happened to drive by. Hope it scared him cuz it sure scared me.
