my mom used to buy candy floss for us too, either the candy man on bicycle, with the bell ringing or at the store
It was a perfect candy treat and it did brought cavities to my teeth too.
The pink stain, stayed on my tongue !
I also love another tidbits, white nuts called kacang putih, coated with white sugar-
I have not eaten candy floss for a while now. But as kids it brought us happiness not so much that it filled our stomachs. (lol)

We never call it candy floss in our place. It has a different name. It is a cotton candy for the kids. Kids love to eat that. My wife and I haven tried eating it. Once it gets into our mouth, it easily melts by the time it touches with the saliva. It is often sold when there is a special occasion in the plaza, a special program. I once observed it how it is done. The ingredients are colored granules of sugar. It is processed by the heat as the sugar is poured into a receptacle which keeps on moving. The floss is thrown to the side of the machine. It is picked then by a stick.

Last April while at church one Sunday, I saw this man selling cotton candy. I observed how he’d do it. I observed he is using a kind of sugar putting it in a roller ball then the food coloring like red or blue or yellow, depending on what flavor. They make the turning and the cotton-like moss sprouting from that roller and then the stick catch it by turning, then putting it in the pack.

I remember the only time when I could buy candy floss was when we were in school there no one would have stopped me,because my mum wouldn’t let me buy it because it was too sugary. Back at home the ice cream man would come around the neighbourhood and all the kids would come out and sorround him to be baught for ice cream. At that point most parents had no choice but to buy ice cream to avoid tantrums from the kids

Your comment took me back to my childhood days – the exact scenario that you have described 🙂
