Is cotton candy an acid or base?

Answer 1

Oh honey, cotton candy is neither an acid nor a base. It's just pure sugar spun into a fluffy cloud of deliciousness. So, if you're looking for a pH level, you won't find it here. Just enjoy your sweet treat and worry about balancing equations, not flavors.

Answer 2

Cotton candy is almost pure sugar. Sugar is essentially neutral, as it does not ionize in water. Therefore, cotton candy is neither an acid or a base, unless the small amount of dye used to color it greatly affects pH. Most don't; they're very weak acids or neutral. If you must choose between saying cotton candy is an acid or a base, choose weak acid.

Sugar can be a food source for bacteria or other organisms; these usually produce an acid (though sometimes its a base) as a waste by-product
