I am sure you must have noticed the crowds surrounding them and others enjoying this fluffy cotton candy. It's sweetness was the main reason they did so. It's also known as candy floss and its basically a form of spun sugar.
Making cotton candy is quite simple and there are many machines that can be used. Nevertheless, there are still simple equipment that can be used. Ingredients mostly used are sugar and food color. While making one at home, melt the sugar and turn it to liquid by heating, sling the liquid out through small holes so as to deliver threads of sugar using a spinning head, and then use a bowl to catch the threads.
On the other hand, machines basically functions in quite a similar manner. Basically they melt the sugar, throws it out through tiny holes and they form threads when they cool down. They are then collected on a stick or paper cone and ready to enjoy. In most cases, the air portions make them appear fluffy and actually its this cottony appearance plus the taste and smell that makes it irresistible.
