I remember cotton candy! And the purveyor taking one of those thin
cardboard cone things and spinning it around the periphey of the sugar
spinner, gathering up the cotton candy onto the cone and then handing
it to me! Ahhhh, bliss! One of the best ways to eat sugar! Better if
it's lightly flavored sugar too! YUM!!

I can't imagine getting a machine to make it at home. Seems kind of an
industrial preocess if done right.
