Make cotton from any candy with Ame de Wataame's sugar spinner

Posted by Rob Beschizza, October 14, 2008 4:33 AM | permalink

Ame de Wataame's $160 machine is claimed to turn any sweeties into cotton candy. But will it work with bacon? Why walk the fairgrounds with a sticky tumbleweed of empty calories when one could be enjoying a shroud of delicious, gossamer-spun meat?

Not that I don't love the idea (who doesn't love bacon?!?), but what makes you think that would work? There isn't really anything crystaline about bacon. Now if you put the bacon flava of Bac-O's into a hard candy, there you gots something.

You can get pork floss in jars or packets at any chinese supermarket.

Also, I would love to see a translated version of that video - if only to understand whether the old dude at the end makes any passes at the rather pretty presenter lady. "Oh, you don't need any candy floss, you're already sweet enough".

I wonder if you can actually put sugar in this and make real candy floss? My pick with hard candies would be Butter Menthols or Eucalyptus drops.
