Cotton Candy Galore!

Where do you picture yourself when you are eating cotton candy? Carnivals, baseball games, parties? Well, we have dentist William Morrison and confectioner John Wharton to thank for that! The spin spun cotton candy machine was first introduced to the public at the 1904 World Fair in Saint Louis. What was previously known as “Fairy Floss,” sold over 68,000 boxes for 25 cents at the fair, which is compared to $6 a box today. Ever since then, cotton candy has only continued to grow, expanding to a variety of different flavors, such as vanilla, blue raspberry, cherry, banana, and others. Some can even glow in the dark! So, thank you to Morrison and Wharton for creating a fluffy, sugary goodness that melts in our mouths!
