Chemists have calculated that it takes no more than 11 pounds of potatoes to make a pair of galoshes. From these tubers, they extract alcohol, process it accordingly, and turn it into rubber. Making galoshes from rubber is quite straightforward.
However, during the fermentation of potato starch, not only alcohol is produced, but also carbon dioxide. In the past, this gas was released into the atmosphere and simply disappeared. Nowadays, carbon dioxide is used to create what is known as dry ice…
