I bought this candy floss for my daugther at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Complex
Candy floss is made from sugar that is spun at high speed in a large metal container where the sugar container walls are slightly heated to melt it. Due to the centrifugal force, the sugar form tiny strands which would be collected using a thin bamboo stick or a paper rolled into a shape of a cone. Artificial flavouring and colours are normally added to enhance the taste. The candy floss machine was invented by William Morrison and John C. Wharton in 1897. It became a hit when it was first introduced to a wide audience at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. In USA it is called cotton candy and in some part of the world it is also known as fairy floss. The USA National Cotton Candy Day falls on 7th December. This sticky and sweet amorphous solid treat dissolves in your mouth. The sugar strands will hardened once it gets into contact with water or water moisture in the air and it will no longer be fluffy. Cotton candy is commonly sold at fun fair, although nowadays you can find them being sold in shopping complexes. When was the last time you ate cotton candy?

I haven't eaten this since I was a kid. I didn't even know that there was a National Cotton Candy Day! I have only bought it for my kids once or twice only because it is usually way over-priced, espcially when compared to how cheap it was to buy when I was a kid!

I can't remember when I last had a cotton candy. when we were kids we couldn't help to eat sweets, but when we are all grown up. It doesn't seem to be too attractive, does it?
