You Are Grossly Overestimating How Much Cotton Candy You Can Eat

I’m not here to debate whether or not cotton candy is delicious, because it’s pure sugar that’s been toasted, which is about as delicious as a snack can get. What am I here to debate is how much cotton candy you realistically think you can and will consume, and whether or not that can justify a $50 cotton candy machine clogging up your kitchen. The answer is no. There’s a reason cotton candy is limited to carnivals and festivals. Like egg nog, you can easily have too much of a good thing, which is why the government and the Rand Corporation have artificially limited its availability. It’s for your own good, and don’t let Amazon tell you otherwise.
