What's pink, fluffy, and uncontrollable...MY NAN'S HAIRDO! I jest, I talk, of course, of the sweet, sticky treat of candyfloss- the meal that ends up with more on your face than inside of it. I can't even describe the wonderment of candyfloss, but I will try to, now...because it's you.
So, here is the complication of my reasons and opinions as to why I think CANDYFLOSS is good.
20 REASONS WHY I THINK CANDYFLOSS IS GOOD
1. It is a symbol of childhood- fun, playful, and colourful.
2. It is symbolic of trips to the circus/fairground. So, naturally, it is amazing.
3. It's one of the rare foods where no one cares if you get it all over your face when eating it. It is so fun, your messiness is readily excused.
4. If there is anyone out there who hasn't dreamt of essentially downing a bag of sugar, I bet they're telling a fib.
5. They come in a wide variety of colours- as a child, this is great fun for the whole family. Who am I kidding? I am still excited by colours.
6. It is fluffy, like clouds. Nice.
7. If you require public humility, candyfloss also commonly comes in bite-size pieces in bags, as well as the traditional stick form.
8. It's a real treat- but not for your gums. Appreciate it whilst you can, because before too long, you won't have any teeth to be eating it with.
9. Candy floss is, infact, very easy to make, with many candy floss machines available for purchase on the High Street.
10. In the style of many American foodstuffs, Candyfloss is truly iconic, and has made it's way, rightly, into many pop icon design works.
11. I'm planning on making a cinema and fairground foods wrapping paper. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
12. Generally speaking, nowadays, candyfloss is quite inexpensive- usually around £1 per stick. A pocket money treat!
13. I was rarely allowed it as a child...therefore, it must have been good. Parents don't stop you from eating sprouts, I notice...
14. Katy Perry was covered in it for her recent 'California Girls' music video. I'm sure that this probably increased the sales of candyfloss from the male population.
15. You can be really inventive with candyfloss- making it in a wide variety of different colours and flavourings- perhaps adding strawberry, lemon or even lime flavourings to the mix?
16. Candyfloss always reminded me of the character Frenchie's pink hair in the film 'Grease'. She was always my favourite.
17. There is nothing cuter than seeing a child holding a stick of candy floss which is taller than they are.
18. Thanks to candy floss making machines, it is an ultimate "fast food" being able to be made from start to finish in a matter of minutes.
19. The intense volumes of sugar give a rush like no other.
20. It makes children quiten down for a good ten minutes (and then hyper for a good ten hours).

20 IMAGES OF CANDYFLOSS
Everybody has an overjoyed face like this when eating candyfloss...it's just a fact.
This is...the dream.
Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's recent music video for their hit 'California Girls' featured a scene where a nude Perry is frolicking in pink candyfloss clouds. If it's good enough for Mrs Russell Brand, it's good enough for me.
As a child I always dreamt of having a candyfloss making machine. As an adult, I dream of never needing to have false teeth. Still pretty tempting, mind...
Multi-coloured candyfloss, too cute for words.
Sugar being spun in a candyfloss machine with pink food colouring (making the natural white colour of the sugar pink)
LOVE of all these different pastel colours- very pretty together. Such a soft, child-like symbol.
Get in there, lad.
