Yay cotton candy~~ ^O^ hm~ wiki time! d(^-^)b
Cotton candy (American English), candy floss (British English / Hiberno English), or fairy floss (Australian English) is a form of spun sugar. It was introduced in 1904 by William Morrison and John C. Wharton, at the St. Louis World's Fair as "Fairy Floss"[1] with great success, selling 68,655 boxes at the then-high 0.25 USD, half the cost of admission to the fair.

Cotton candy is made from sugar and food coloring. ^_^
Modern cotton candy machines work in very much the same way as older ones. The center part of the machine consists of a small bowl into which sugar is poured and food coloring added. Heaters near the rim melt the sugar and it is spun out through tiny holes where it solidifies in the air and is caught in a large metal bowl.
The operator of the machine twirls a stick, a cone, or their hands around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the candy into portions. (this can be very smexy when done ^.~)

The most popular color of cotton candy is pink!!! ^_^ though any color can be made.

Sweet and sticky, it dissolves quickly in the mouth although it feels like wool to the touch. ( tricky cotton candy eh ^_~ )

Cotton candy is soft and fluffy when dry, but when it comes in contact with moisture, it becomes sticky and damp.
Because the sugar is hygroscopic, and has a very large surface area, it will become coarser, harder and generally less "flossy" once exposed to the atmosphere. =( boo non flossy cotton candy
In humid climates, cotton candy should be eaten within a couple of hours or it will be much less enjoyable. ;_; shame..
