Is renting a cotton candy machine a good idea?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many cotton candy machine rentals are available online. These online companies can have the machine shipped to you and have it picked up at your convenience. There are also other party food machines that can be rented, such as popcorn machines, and even a shaved ice cart for making great frozen treats such as margaritas and snow cones. They are nice, but cotton candy machines are more popular with kids. There is nothing like a large cone of soft, colorful cotton candy. It is the highlight of many events. A cotton candy machine rental makes it easy to have a great time at home events.

Why does cotton candy dissolve so fast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not entirely sure myself but logically it seems it would be because it's mostly sugar which is just spun into soft fibers. Saliva is the first step at breaking down food. Because the sugar is so thin it is immediately dissolved.

In other words the wetness of our saliva makes it turn into just sugar which slides down our throats to quickly to realize it.

"When it comes in contact with water it forms a gravitational anomaly and collapses on itself."

What is a hyperbole for Cotton Candy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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").
