They often don’t advertise its availability but most grocery stores in the US do sell it.

It’s very useful for road trips, power outages, and shipping perishable items.

On Halloween, my grandma (I’m in the US) would dress like a witch and use dry ice carbonate homemade root beer she’d dole out to kids from a giant bubbling black cauldron. I thought grandma was an actual witch for a while there.
homemade root beer is pretty difficult to do well!
This kind of depends on the location/jurisdiction. The more rural you go, the more likely you can buy it. In a lot of big metro areas you'd be better advised to call ahead until you find a store that carries it.
