Is dry ice available in all stores?

Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide that is often used for shipping or storing perishable items, as well as for creating fog effects in theatre. The correct choice indicates that while dry ice isn't universally available in every store, it can indeed be found in some locations. Many grocery stores, especially those that sell frozen foods, or special supply stores may stock dry ice but it's not a common item in all types of retail outlets, especially smaller or local convenience stores.

The selective availability of dry ice is due to a number of factors such as the nature of the products a store sells, regional regulations regarding handling of dry ice, and the demand and storage capabilities of the store. Some stores may not carry it at all, making the assertion that it can only be found in certain locations accurate.
