Make your own low (or zero) calorie soda pop

I have always been a huge fan of making home made root beer. It is super fun and easy, but more importantly, it is super delicious.

So one day while I was making root beer, I decided to try an experiment. I started putting dry ice in other drinks and found that it was amazing!

Want to make zero calorie soda? Find some zero calorie Crystal Light and add dry ice to it. Want to make an amazing fruit drink? Add dry ice to it. Want to make your favorite Kool-Aid flavor into soda? Add dry ice to it.
I think you get the point. Making soda out of different flavors of drink is fun and delicious!
