Another issue with Dry Ice is that it sublimates to CO2 gas (colorless, odorless, and tastless). Make sure that if you're driving, and have your cooler INSIDE your vehicle, ensure that you are properly ventilated as the gas could build up and cause shortness of breath or dizziness. Never good things to experience while driving.
