goodbye/fun facts....National Cotton Candy Day...the sweet delight that dates back to the 1400s in Italy.  The old fashioned way of making cotton candy - or spun sugar as it was called - was to melt sugar in a pan and then use a fork to make strings of sugar over an upside down bowl. The sugar would then dry in strings and be served as a dessert.  Obviously very time consuming...only the wealthy could afford spun sugar desserts...until 1897, when Dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton invented machine-spun cotton candy....they introduced it at the 1904 World’s Fair as Fairy Floss. Fairgoers loved it and bought over 68,000 boxes for 25¢ a box.
