Liquid nitrogen- that's-196 C( -321 F). How she ever got that drink passed her lips and teeth without them freezing solid I can't imagine. What it did to her gullet and stomach- heaven knows.
And how this stuff can be allowed in open jugs in a pub/bar- the mind boggles.Imagine if some joker thought it would be fun to throw the contents into your face!You'd lose your face, eyes etc. Just knocking the jug over could be a disaster.
Don't think you could keep it in a jug for long without it evaporating. You'd have to keep it in a Dewar vessel (that's tech speak for a thermos flask).
