Candy floss facts 2

Dec. 7 is National Cotton Candy Day

December is a very strange time to think of cotton candy for most people. This is probably because it's always been associated with summertime events and festivities. Any time that most people have eaten cotton candy has been at a circus, or a carnival of some kind. The smells, sounds, and feelings that are associated with cotton candy are all very summery things.

There is also a change in air pressure and temperature that makes it difficult to make cotton candy when it becomes very cold. Remember, the time it takes the sugar to dry again after it has been melted is what makes the glass "strings" that are rolled together to make cotton candy. If the cotton candy cools too soon, you won't be able to make it, let alone eat it. This is because air that is too cold will either clump up your sugar around the reservoir or make globs stick to the bottom of your pan.

So why is Dec. 7 the chosen day that the United States celebrates cotton candy? To be honest, no one really knows. Some people surmise that it may be the birthday or another important date for the creator of the treat or someone else important in the history of cotton candy. This has never been confirmed by any sources. Another, far less commemorative possibility is that people missed cotton candy in the winter and wanted an excuse to eat it.
