Candy Floss, Cotton Candy, FairyFloss, what ever you call spun sugar, can you believe it was a dentist who invented it? Yep William Morrison invented all sorts of things in his spare time. In 1897 he created the candy floss machine. Maybe he was looking for an endless supply of patients?

ReplyDeleteHow clever to be a dentist and to invent candyfloss. It's like being an orthopaedic surgeon and setting trip wires round the town! I love candyfloss. It tastes of holidays. Sweet and ephemeral.
