Cotton Candy was invented by two people. One of them was a dentist. Now, wasn't that one hell of a corporate move.
Cotton candy was invented in 1897 by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton, who created a machine that spun heated sugar through tiny holes to form the fluffy strands. They first introduced their creation, originally called "Fairy Floss," at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, where it became a huge success.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
