Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a figure of speech. It is used for emphasis, and is not intended to be taken literally. For example, "this bag weighs a ton!". How might we apply hyperbole to cotton candy? It depends what aspect of the cotton candy you wish to emphasise. Perhaps you are particularly impressed by it's lightness ("this cotton candy is lighter than a feather") or its sweetness ("the cotton candy was sweeter than an angel's kiss") or its flavour ("eating the cotton candy was like being gently punched in the teeth by chopped strawberries wrapped around a bag of tiny cut diamonds") or the quantity of the portion ("there was tons and tons of cotton candy!") or its price ("the cotton candy cost just a few cents a pop") or its location and context ("the cotton candy was perfect, just what I needed right then") or its general effect on you ("the cotton candy hit my lips like a pink explosion of strawberry-sugar floss-light stardrops and I nearly fainted with delight").
