Often found at fairgrounds, carnivals, and circuses, sold on sticks and enjoyed by many, the sticky clouds of brightly colored spun sugar that make up cotton candy are familiar to all. The wispy puffs always start out fun, but quickly dissolve into a sticky mess that seems to target the faces of children. But when, where and how did such a creation ever come into being?
