Half a fucking cup of salt
dnebdal
It's not going in the icecream, it's just a process chemical with the ice to drop the temperature.
Alcoholichippie
I did this with a group of 5 y/o. I will never believe this works. I ended up shaking all the bags & the kids wouldn't eat it.
Nadodan
We did this in my science class, we were dumbases and salted the vanilla bag making it unfreezable, I was the dumbass who tasted it *cringe*
JeanZedlav
Why does no one on imgur know what half and half is? And why don't they have google?
pobody
We just use liquid nitrogen. Mix sugar and cream then pour in the cold and stir like crazy.

Or most science classes. Ive done this twice at both middle school and high school.

~I'm happy, feeling glad, made ice-cream in a bag, I'm useful, but not for long, the melting, it's comin' on~
InnocentMalice
We did this in school once...I somehow manage to fail so bad made some kind of butter...
redbaronshotsauce
You could have overmixed it . Especially if you used heavy cream instead of half and half :)
luuk4362
Holy moly, thank you all for the upvotes! Didn't expect that at all.
kevingalvan
my class did this in grade school, we all vomited furiously shortly afterwards
TyffiBoo
what? why?
kevingalvan
none of us did it right, we were early in the 4th grade and so once we saw one kid vomit, we all kind of just followed, because we could
kohrah
"half cup half & half" what is going on
ChicksDigTrucks
Step 1 was 3 steps. And you mean "add" not "combine."
Alcoholichippie
This fails to address that you're going to shake at least 5 minutes. That doesn't sound long unless you're shaking a wet salty bag of ice
ObservantComment
I do this regularly when we run out of ice cream, it just seems normal and simple to me, but whenever someone sees me they look at me like

The "science" given by OP is incorrect. A lowering of freezing point won't make it freeze, it only affects what temp it could freeze. 1/2

Computer model, pick NaCL and it cools: http://group.chem.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/thermochem/heat_soln.html

The cooling effect actually occurs because dissolution of NaCl in water has negative enthalpy of solution and is endothermic. Science! 2/2
SilverHarvest
Ah the joys of elementary school science experiments. They were the best.
SanguineUmbra
TIL my elementary school sucked
KylaDeigan
We do this all the time in Girl Scouts! I recommend rock salt if you have it. Also, use thicker ziploc bags so your ice cream isn't salty.
lionoil
I did it at a busy outreach session recently and someone threw their bag to "shake" it and hit me in the face. Ahhh Girl Scouting :)
jeffvadersmother
Protip- use heavy cream not half and half.
koolman2
Tried that once. The cream hardens too quickly and it turns out horribly.
seoulless
Mmmm, yes, much richer result
SobieGretzki
Does it bother anyone else that there are three "step one"s??
Carbonbasedlife
First thing I noticed.
itsapirateslifeforme
Yes. Yes it does.
BilldeTurlock
Kinda.
Disembowleeh
The use of "combine" made me irrationally irritated. You combine multiple things in a list; you ADD one thing at a time.
typingtreemonkey
Yes! It was very irritating. My guess is video screen caps but still, why not list the THREE ingredients on one image?
WtfLyric
For some reason I thought vanilla was vodka, and wondered at the bottom what happened to the vodka. . .

What the duece is half and half
dnebdal
Light cream, apparently - around 12-13% .
SanguineUmbra
A liquid creamer you can buy for coffee and other stuff
justasomeone
AH! american as hell is what it is. its half cream & half milk
koolman2
It's basically extra cream in the milk. In the US it's 10.5%-18%.
seoulless
We have it in Canada too! Maybe... North American as hell?
SindarElla
Did this in 4th grade. Fucking delicious. Only had vague memories of it though, thank you for the science!
pumpkintits007
Physics professor did this for one of our labs in college... instantly became the favorite professor in the department

Mine once did it with liquid nitrogen. Best lecture assistant meeting ever.
Aaronb1138
Physics prof did this and didn't use liquid nitrogen? Blasphemy!
AppalachianAdventurer
My 8th grade science teacher didn't have any lessons left in May that year, so we did experiments like this every day. It rocked.

Ah, the famous freezing point depression lab, I see you've done it as well.

I did this once. Saltiest ice cream ever.
teamporkchop
To everyone complaining about bags: put ingredients a small coffee can, put that and ice inside a big can, and just roll it back and forth.
yourmomsabanana
Mine tasted like the plastic bag. Tried it once, will never do it again
MochaFrapavagina
Ugh that's the saltiest thing I've ever tasted... And I once had a heaping bowl of salt
normandy247
I laughed well, gather the points.
SluttyToast
Then don't cream in the bag.
PillowFortPolice
U have to be sure to double bag it. Also u need to use rock salt, works better and also harder to dissolve
Penfiskswmfibu
Directions unclear, added salt to small bag
holycrapitsmyles
I too thought it said to add salt to the smaller bag.
Pumpkinbot
Instructions unclear, poured salt on my dick.
BobMakingPie
Put caramel in it. Immediate salted caramel ice cream!
keyqueen
I had salt water ice cream made with water from the bay in Dingle when I was in Ireland. Probably the best ice cream I have ever had.
ampelamati
use coffee cans instead. one big one and a smaller one. then you can roll it around :D
hopethisisarelevantname
Use cocaine.
whoisyourdaddy
*did this wrong once
dragonsfriend
ziplocks arent hundred percent water proof, or osmosis proof, i double bagged the icream one.
foxyfaice
I read that as double banged and was confused.
itsahollyday2
Thanks for the tip! Pun intended
SluttyToast
Double bagging is actually much less effective.
tarataqa
It worked on your mom.
Doodle210
Apparently not...

Leftytheperpetuallyperplexed
I did this once with a large coffee can (with a lid) and a smaller can. Wrapped the can in foil and rolled it back and forth. Bam! Ice cream
AuntieMeat
Sounds like a good reason to add caramel sauce on top!

What exactly is half & half?
abbybobabby
Half and half is a combination of whole milk and cream with a fat % that is between 11% and 18%, whereas anything above 18% is cream.
CatSnakePlissken
Most commonly it's used as a creamer for coffee.
spritefire
Something that makes ice cream

I'm now thinking maybe like single cream?
TheMayorOfTittyCity
half cream
lapotat
Yup, at least that's what I figured when I lived in the uk
SightlierGravy
Single cream has a slightly higher milk fat content than half and half, 18% compared to 12-15%.
StitchesAreMyJam
thanks, that makes sense, now i just need to work out the maths of how to dilute it!
seoulless
No need! Using single cream will actually just give you a richer result. The thing is it's harder to find in North America than half&half.

A milk product high in fat Like how there's 1% 2% Whole/D milk is usually 3.5%, Half and Half is usually 12.5%. Heavy whipping cream is ~30%
prettihatemachine
thank you
dnebdal
For the Norwegians: Kremfløte is 38%, lett krem 25%, mat 20%, lett mat 10%, and kaffefløte also 10%.
RedVagOfCourage
As a lover of half and half, these all sound delicious.
dnebdal
The 20% matfløte (cooking cream, lit. "foodcream") does make everything better. :)
RedVagOfCourage
kishinlemming
To the rest of the world: Normal (whipping) cream is fine for this, but you can make a 1:1 mixture of milk and cream to abide by the recipe.
Ermanbora
In Norway it's a pizza deal where you can top two halves of a pizza with different ingredients

TIL "half and half" has very different meanings to some people.

In Wales it's half chips and half rice

I never realised this was a Welsh thing til I moved to Leeds for a bit and everyone looked at me like I had crapped on the table.

You welshies sure have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?
CalvinandHobbitses
As in potato chips? Is this for take away meals or something?
Johnthebadger
I don't about anywhere else but in the UK chips are thicker fries. We still have fries here too. And what you call chips are crisps.
CalvinandHobbitses
It's awkward... we call both chips and the listener just has to chose which type fits the situation best.
LetMeTellYouHowIPlannedToKillYouBeforeYouEscapeMrBond
I'm sorry, our friend above doesn't speak american. He means fries. Only we chop them to be thicker because skinny American fries are shit.
CalvinandHobbitses
Haha, no I am Australian so I say chips too, I had just never thought of them as being complimentary to rice!
LetMeTellYouHowIPlannedToKillYouBeforeYouEscapeMrBond
As well as... instead of... Curry sauce on chips was a classy student staple way back when
riffles
Yup potato chips. Usually served with a curry
CalvinandHobbitses
I really want that option here! Yum :D
Heisenbeer
He means potato frys to you yanks.
ForgottenTaco
it is milk cream, i believe it is 18% butter fat, compared to whipping/heavy cream which is 40% butterfat. used alot in coffee.

A911owner
Half and Half is only found north of the Mason/Dixon line in the US; I used to do coffee promotions, and in the south we couldn't buy it.
NothingPersonal
Er...I don't know how long ago this was for you but I've lived in Georgia and Texas and had half and half in both states
A911owner
When we were working in Nashville, people literally had never heard of it, except for one vendor who was originally from Connecticut.
ilovebees
Might only be certain parts of the south, I bought half&half all the time when I lived in Florida. (for as much as Florida is the "south")
lonelylinguist
Florida: so far south it’s north.
A911owner
You know what they say about Florida: "the farther north you go, the more south you are"

I see, interesting.
