How is Cotton Candy Made?
Cotton candy is very simple to make. First sugar is melted into a liquid state and then spun it in the cotton candy machine. The machine forces the liquid through tiny holes that shape and cool the liquid sugar. After it cools, the sugar becomes a solid again. The center of the machine is filled with thousands of tiny threads that are collected and served on a stick.

Cotton Candy - If you've ever been to a carnival, circus, amusement park, fair or any other type of large outdoor event with vendors selling a variety of trinkets, you've most likely had the chance to sample an odd yet delicious candy known as cotton candy also called candy floss or candy cotton. Your parents probably made sure you didn't eat too much cotton candy though, right? And then proceeded to tell you stories about how cotton candy will give you cavities so horrific your teeth would eventually fall out? Well, maybe not quite that horrible, though I did once overhear a mother telling her son that about cotton candy.
In truth, cotton candy isn't nearly so horrible as many make it sound. Sure, cotton candy is almost purely sugar, but there isn't enough in cotton candy to make your teeth instantly form cavities. Unless, of course, you eat cotton candy multiple times a day and several times a week.
Cotton candy doesn't contain all that much sugar - merely as much sugar as one would get drinking a can of an average soft drink. In fact, in a normal serving of cotton candy (about a 1 oz. cone) there are only about 100 calories - compared to anywhere from 130-170 calories in a can of non-diet soft drink.
This fluffy and delightful candy is a novelty to children as well as adults. The process by which cotton candy is made has been around for over 100 years so chances are you could ask your grandparents about their first encounter with cotton candy and they'll tell you at great length how much it cost and how neat it was back in the day.
