Hold on to your childhood... there are varying accounts on the safety of your favorite 80s science snack. This facebook character argues that there is mercury and other dangerous elements in Dippin' Dots, the "futuristic" ice cream company based in Paducah, KY. The science of these ice cream "dots" lie in the process by which the creamy goodness is sprayed into liquid nitrogen which "flsh freezes" the particles into tiny beads.
This cult classic has a following of weirdos who also want to flash freeze ice cream. Here is the documentation of those odd characters' questions and answers.
Honestly I was not able to back this guys claim about the mercury and I did a lot of searching. While money-making companies are not the most unbiased sources of information, this is what Dippin' Dots themselves have to say about their process.
P.S. Dippin Dots are made in Seoul, Korea.
