sugar sweet (if only they all knew ...)

[sandwell]

While away in France, I discovered that candyfloss not only comes in colours other than pink, but also that it comes in flavours other than 'generic sugar

i need to sit down and actually *do* something about it.

The only thing you'll achieve by sitting down is think about it, and do nothing in terms of getting rid of the mess ! lol

Re: i need to sit down and actually *do* something about it.

[sandwell]

not actually true. in fact, sitting down might be of benefit!

since most of the mess is in the gap between my bed and my bookcase, the most effective way for me to tidy it is to dump everything onto my bed, sit down on the bed, and sort through it that way. probably whilst listening to something with a strong beat.

so there :p * giggle.

whatever

Yes. Candyfloss is fantastic when it comes in a bright blue raspberry. I love it.

second thought for the day :

why is raspberry always blue? like, in candyfloss then, or ice-pops, or some additive-laden cordials ...

I wanna say it's because so many flavors are already red, that they wanted to use a different color rather than another red one? I dunno. But why blue raspberry, why not yellow cherry or green strawberry or something?

Oh dear love...we need to get you to the U.S. at county fair time, if you were never aware that candy floss (or as we say, cotton candy) comes in more colors/flavors than pink. I've seen it in bubble gum flavor, green apple flavor, blue raspberry flavor....and about a zillion others. I promise you we could find a fair booth with three or four flavors to offer!

Or hell, could just buy a cheap home cotton candy machine and every kind of flavored sugar imaginable and glutton ourselves silly!

[sandwell]

heh ... it's always fun to watch it being made but i think i can do without buying a machine that makes it. Although i'm convinced its healthier than people make it out to be, as yes it's basically sugar, but you don't 'chew' it (it goes onto your tongue and dissolves) so a diet of it won't necessarily rot your teeth ... lol :p

to me it's always more traditional on a stick than in a bag, but you more often seem to see it sold in bags ...

and note my note above to carrie about about blue raspberry ...

We had some blue-grey stuff

[merrymog]

So what flavour was is?... I'm presuming it didn't taste of carpet fluff or belly button fluff :p

Re: We had some blue-grey stuff

[sandwell]

er, it didn't really taste of much actually - sugar, mainly! as you'd expect ...

... for the record I've never eaten carpet fluff. can't guarantee i've never eaten belly button fluff or sock-lint though ... :p
