Cotton candy is a popular sweet treat made from sugar that is heated and spun to create fine, fluffy strands. The process involves melting granulated sugar and then rapidly spinning it through tiny holes, where it cools and solidifies into delicate, airy strands. This creates a light, cloud-like texture that melts in your mouth. Typically found at fairs, carnivals, and amusement parks, cotton candy is often served on a stick or in a paper cone. It comes in various colors and flavors, with pink and blue being the most common. The treat is enjoyed by people of all ages for its whimsical appearance and sugary taste.
