Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide or dinitrogen monoxide), commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous, nitro, or nos,[4] is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N 2O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, and has a slightly sweet scent and taste.[5] At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidiser similar to molecular oxygen.
Galaxy Gas is nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, nos, nangs, whippets (not the dog breed). It’s a drug that’s been used for ages by doctors and dentists as an anesthetic, and recreationally by teens looking for a quick jolt of euphoria. It’s also used in kitchens to quickly create foams and whipped creams, which Galaxy Gas claims is their business model. The brand has gone wildly viral because it’s widely available in smoke shops and mainstream retailers and comes in kiddie-friendly flavors like Mango Smoothie, Strawberry Cream, and Vanilla Cupcake. When I was in high school in the mid-2010s, people sucked gas out of balloons filled from large metal tanks of nitrous. That image of a cheap, grimy gas-tank high was off-putting. Now the experience is as innocent as downing squirts of sweet whipped cream from a colorful can. It’s basically the of nitrous oxide: drugs with an Instagram-cute sheen.
