Cotton Candy
Do you love cotton candy? Did you ever wonder who invented cotton candy and how did they make it? Well, if you did stay tuned because I am going to answer your question.Visit this website for more information: http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/who-invented-cotton-candy/
2 guys named William Morrison and John C. Warton. They were from Tennessee.
The machine spun cotton candy was introduced to the world in 1897. Their first cotton candy machines were unreliable. For example, they broke down several of times and rattled. Though the demands were very high.
In 1949 the Gold Metal Products of Cincinnati,Ohio, introduced a new version of a cotton candy machine. This new version helped tremendously. It didn't rattle or brake down unless something was very wrong. Now they were reliable to make cotton candy.Even today the Gold Metal Products manufacture almost all of the cotton candy machines.
Did you ever wonder what happens in a cotton candy machine? Well, first the sugar is melted until it becomes liquid. Then, the liquid sugar is spun as the machine forces it through tiny holes that shapes and cool the liquid.Right after it cools the sugar becomes solid again. The thousands of tiny crystallized sugar threads are then collected by gently rotating a paper cone around the inside of the cotton candy machine.Once the puff of the cotton candy is just right then it is time to eat.
In 1904 William Morrison and John C. Warton took the cotton candy to the St. Louis World's Fair. They sold each box of cotton candy for 25 cents. This may not seem as much as today, but back then it was half the price of an admission ticket to the fair. They sold over 68,000 boxes of 'fairy floss' also know as cotton candy at the fair.That means that they got more than $17,000.
The most popular colors of cotton candy is pink and blue. Do you know how they get that perfect color? Well, you may be suprised to know that cotton candy is just like sugar, it is naturally white. You make they colors by adding in pink and blue food dye.
This is all about the world of cotton candy.Now, I challenge you to choose a topic on http://wonderopolis.org/ and read the paragraph underneath the video. Make sure you gather information to inform someone else.
