TikToker Abdurrhaman Abdur-Rasheed @official.mrhungry) has made a video demonstrating what would happen to a human stomach if dry ice was eaten.

Abdur-Rasheed uses a sealable plastic bag filled with a bit of water to represent the stomach. He then places the chunk of dry ice into the bag seeing the liquid instantly bubble causing the bag to rapidly expand.

The informative video has racked up over 8.8 million views on TikTok.

According to Penguin Brand Dry Ice: "Dry ice should never be consumed. In fact, did you know that swallowing dry ice is more dangerous than holding it? Not only can it burn your mouth, oesophagus, and stomach, but the sublimation process that dry ice undergoes could cause a buildup of pressure that can rupture your stomach and may be lethal or extremely painful."

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide commonly used to freeze goods without using water.
