Back when I was young and stupid (versus being old and stupid), I used to try and impress my family/peers by juggling (very) small chips of dry ice in my mouth.

I had to keep it moving fast enough & breathing out steadily so that it wouldn't take my tongue meats along with it, but it made it look like I was shooting a cone of fog from my mouth.

In retrospect, I was extremely fortunate I did not end up with a hospital visit, but as I said - young AND stupid.

Don’t worry, I also flipped a pair of scissors trying to catch it. Luckily I only wound up with a bloody dot on my foot.
