Is dry ice bad for you if put in a drink?

If it touches your skin, then yes, it will freeze the cells. If it is just in the punch, you are fine.

P.S. Dry Ice doesn’t burn you, it is so cold that it freezes the cells, instantly killing them.

It would be harmless other than tasting awful.

Here are some Halloween dry ice ideas.

Check out the smoking punch bowl, that might be the way to go.

You can find some more information on dry ice, here.

If someone were to ingest it, what would happen?

@JackAdams Nice link with useful information. I had missed that thread. Thanks.

@Mr_M See Eambos’ answer above or the link JA provided. It would not be pretty.

no its not bad for you as long as you dont let it touch you. that would be somewhat difficult to do that without a straw.. and if you want all that stuff in your face..

Swallow it and you will most likely burn a hole in your throat.

It would more likely freeze your entire esophagus, and when you impulsively sneeze or move around, your esophagus will shatter.
But anyway, think of dry ice in a drink as normal ice in a drink. It’s just very cold and cools the drink fast. Some of the drink also freeze onto the dry ice. Also, the “mist/smoke” created is pure CO2, so don’t breathe that.

If you ingest it, I can’t see how it would NOT be excruciatingly painful with instant death as it eats through your organs.

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of dry ice once, I thought I was going to die.
