Ick's Temporary Ice
Is that a real thing? It would be pretty cool! If we could just keep it from exploding, that is...
shareLooked like ordinary "dry ice" (Frozen CO2) to me....
shareI love how there were ice sheets covering the stairs, which made a ramp, and then when it "vaporized", you could see that stairs (which are now perfectly clean & water free...) had been under the ice sheets.
shareWhy would there have been water on the stairs? The ice was not made of water. It was made of a substance that turned directly from solid to gas thus NO liquid stage. Ick explains this in the movie if you cared to pay attention. Going directly from a solid (ice) to vapor (gas) is called sublimation. An example of this is dry ice. It evaporates (turns directly to gas) from the solid form.
shareI think they meant the ice was a straight line wheras it shoukd have been in the shape of stairs.
shareI always assumed that Ick made the ramp somehow by piling the ice on top of itself to make a ramp. It's not hard to shape ice into the formation that you want it to be. And the guy specifically said there was no water on the stairs...well, there wouldn't be liquid left if it turned directly into vapor.
shareYeah, they could have stacked it that way to make a ramp. Minor nit.
