Cotton candy (also known as candy floss) was invented in 1897 and made popular at the St Louis World Fair in Missouri, USA in 1904. It's now a popular treat the world over.
YOU probably do not talk to anyone about your teeth as much as you do with your dentist. Floss more, brush often, consume less sugar - we have heard it all.
But is it true that cotton candy - which is a spun sugar confection, often with some flavouring and colouring for added appeal - was invented by a dentist?
