Description
If you want to feel like a kid again, go to a carnival and ride the Ferris wheel. Then you can watch spellbound as the cotton candy maker spins a confection that looks like pillows of wool but melts in your mouth like a snowflake. Cotton candy was invented in 1897 by William Morrison and John C. Wharton, candymakers from Nashville, Tennessee, USA. They invented a device that heated sugar in a spinning bowl that had tiny holes in it. It formed a treat that they originally called "Fairy Floss." As the bowl spun around, the caramelized sugar was forced through the tiny holes, making feathery candy that melts in the mouth.
