Events for National Cotton Candy Day

Suck on as much cotton candy as you can

Purchase some, then rejoice! Perhaps taste something new for the first time. A banana? A green apple? Sweet petal?

Give some to your childhood pals or siblings.

Celebrate with that person you enjoyed cotton candy with when you were younger. There is no doubt that pleasant memories will accompany this sweet fix.

Attempt to prepare it at home.

Do you think you could outperform the dentists who designed it? Try it out and sample some other flavors as well.

We can’t seem to get enough for three reasons.

The only real ingredient is sugar.

Since cotton candy is only made of sugar, it turns all white when spun. One can change the color by adding dye.

A cotton candy strand is tinier than a human hair strand.

Even though it’s thin, the treat has a long tail. The longest cotton candy was actually made in July 2009 and measured more than 1,400 meters.

Names for cotton candy vary from country to country.

It is referred to as candy floss in England. It’s referred to as fairy floss in Australia and Finland. It is referred to as suikerspin, or “sugar spider,” in the Netherlands. Are you visiting France? Call it “pa’s beard,” or barbe à papa.
