Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 [b]Girl has her stomach removed after drinking liquid nitrogen cocktail[/b] Full story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/19866191 Basically girl out for her 18th bought a drink with freezing toxic chemical mixed in it and nearly lost her life because of it. Because some people are really, baffling stupid. So you enjoyed that cocktail: then try my latest creation. The malibu and hydrochloric acid!

OT: I pressume they omitted the fact they'd used Liquid Nitrogen? I mean, surely she ain't that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
//Zeromaru// Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I hear you. I couldn't help but think that it serves her right when I first heard about this. Some people are just plain stupid and shouldn't be allowed outside. Has anything been brought on the club that was serving the drink? The last I heard was that they had removed the Nitrogen from their drinks list, but surely having a drink that contains an extremely dangerous substance is illegal anyway?

I was asleep for most of yesterday I checked no-one had already posted it here, but since no-one had I though it would be all good. Unless I've got it hideously wrong, she knowingly bought the cocktail over the counter as a popular bar speciality... [quote name='//Zeromaru//' timestamp='1349788170' post='6040909'] I hear you.

Kyng's Old Account Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The only logical way I could possibly understand this would be that the cocktail required Liquid Nitrogen to cool/freeze it rapidly before serving, and maybe a little got left in? I mean, don't get me wrong, shame on her for drinking a potentially dangerous drink, but regardless I can't help but feel she's not all at fault here. She can't be [i]that[/i] stupid to drink it. Unless, of course, she was a ditzy bimbo thinking "Ooh, like, Liquid Nitrogen sounds totally cray-cray~! I've so got to, like, down it ASAP~! LOL~!!"

Catterjune Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Some people use liquid nitrogen as dumb fun gimmicks at bars or something. In fact the article says as much. I've had ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. As in, it was sugar + cream + some other flavoring + liquid nitrogen directly poured into a large bowl and mixed. It was perfectly fine, and dozens of other students had it too suffering no ill effects. I don't think the girl here was stupid. I just think she tried a thing that's normally safe enough as long as the guy who's serving it knows what he's doing, like those guys with the super poisonous blowfish. The bar's at fault TBQH.

Just Crouton Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 For some reason, I'm reminded of the scene in Saw 6 where the guy gets his body pumped full of acid via wall of syringes, and you see his stomach dissolved with the entrails pouring out as he screams. O_o And, here's another for me to avoid drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Surely there's many other ways to make things 'frothy'. Like Pika said, it's completely the place who served it's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Jesse Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 This reminds me of how my cousin died several years back because she went to Mexico to get a cheap surgery to help control her appetite better and lose weight some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can confirm Liquid Nitrogen is safe to use for ice cream. I've made it several times(under supervision of my Teachers) for fundraisers. Hatcher knows her stuff.
