So, how does it all work? The machine uses a spinning head with tiny holes to break down the sugar into tiny, thread-like strands. As the machine spins, it heats up the sugar to a precise temperature, melting it and turning it into a liquid that's then forced through the tiny holes to create the flossy strands.
It's kind of like when you're making spaghetti and you use a meat grinder to create long, thin strands of pasta - except instead of pasta, you're working with sugar, and instead of a grinder, you're using a cotton candy machine! The result is a sweet, flossy treat that's irresistible to kids and adults alike.
