Cotton Candy

Oh man. When I was 17 yrs old and in my last yr of high school, I went for cotton candy (or barbe a papa as we say here) every evening during my exam period. I had a few this year but all in all I tend to stay away from this crack material. Too addictive.

Abbott, I fear we're the only ones. I shan't complain. More for us! :-D

Shan't? God, someone stop me!

High fives, Nath! Our club rules.

Do not eat cotton candy! During the summer of my 14th year, my friends and I schemed to all get a job at the same place. Our machinations led to us toiling in a cotton candy stand. In at least one instance, my friend blew his nose into a bag of the stuff. Another time, a girl showed up at work with a heavy case of pink eye, and was not sent home.

Do not eat cotton candy! Or, pretty much, do not eat anything that might have been prepared by teenagers...

I was thinking of renting cotton candy machine for my wedding but weddings have so much sweet stuff already that I do not want to induce the sugar vom in anyone.

I love this shit enough to not care about the diseases.

Haha

I don't care for it, but I am not much of a sweets person

Barbe à papa!

I should have known Michael knew the other name for cotton candy. We call it suikerspin in Dutch (sugar-spider).

Abbott, HIGH FIVE and we stick together cause of all that sugar. heheh

Oh my goodness, sugar spider!

I can't even say the word 'cotton' because I only know how to make glottal stops in the middle of words (including 'glottal'). "Cah-un candy." My boyfriend makes the fun when I say "shut up" bcz it comes out like "shu-hup." Fuck me.

Ugh, when I was in lol college I worked at an amusement park one summer in a cotton candy stand, and have never eaten a bite of the wretched stuff since.

Yeah, is that why they're named that? I was trying to find Tumoas's thredd on those cute lil' buggers.

I saw that show a couple of times when I woke up too early as a child and there was nothing else to watch except "Tony Brown's Journal" or some such, and it creeped me out, like to the point where I had to turn the channel over to Mundo Hispano or something else that held absolutely no interest to my six-year old worldview.

Okay, I'll ask. What were the four flavors of cotton candy?

Australians call this stuff Fairy Floss (or something like that.)

Isn't it candy floss? That's what I seem to remember it being called.

Jesus, what the hell do you people call Swedish Fish?

The four flavors were banana, "red," "green," and jellybean (they'd pick out a flavor of jellybean you wanted...I chose licorice and then felt immediately bad the guy had to root through the thing of jellybeans to pick out the very few black ones).

Feeling gratuitous guilt in one's dreams, C or dud?
