Fun facts you should know : 

• Sugar is the only ingredient in cotton candy. 
• Cotton Candy is fat free food. 
• There is Less Sugar in Cotton Candy Than in Soda 
• Cotton candy disappears when you put it in the fridge because when you let it sit in a moist environment, it will cause the sugar to melt and dissolve. Or, if it is compressed, the air will come out of the mix and it will condense into a hard sugar block.

Indonesian cotton candy poem / Gulali Pantun :

Rasa senyum-senyum kamu
Semanis Rasa Gulali
