My Cotton Candy Obession

I've always loved cotton candy. If you don't believe me just ask my first boyfriend, we used to fight about it all the time. "You're such a little kid!" he'd say while waiting impatiently for me to stand in line and pay for it.

With the invention of the internet and netflix my love for cotton candy dwindled. I bet you're wondering 'where's the correlation?' Well, you see... there are only a handful of places you can get cotton candy. The most popular place is an amusement park or circus. Occasionally in NY you may randomly see a cotton candy guy selling bags for a dollar on the subway. But what good is that really? Chances are he won't be there selling when you actually want him to. So that leaves only one place I could get cotton candy when I wanted it; Blockbuster. Since I don't rent movies at Blockbuster anymore cotton candy has been pretty much 'Out of sight. Out of mind' for me, that is until John started working at G-force Amusement.

G-Force is a ride located at Fun Spot in Kissimee. Being as he works in an amusement park, John is exposed to cotton candy all day. He brings some home pretty regularly. Sounds perfect doesn't it? Well there was only one problem. He was living in FL while I was still living in NY. Just to show you how sweet of a guy John really is I'll tell you how he solved this problem. He'd collect 3 to 4 bags, put it in a box and ship it to me. You can say it. 'Awwwww...'

One time in particular, John bought a jumbo bag to send me. Not wanting to carry it around with him all day, he decided it would be safest in the back seat of the car.

Hmm... This was, how do you say 'a really stupid idea'? (please see Exhibit A below)

The bag melted to about 1/16 of it's original size and went from cotton candy to rock candy.

John saved the bag to show me and probably never thought in a million years I'd actually eat the thing. Talk about totally underestimating my love for cotton candy!

It felt a little like chewing on a pumice stone, but boy was it tasty! I bet you think I'm kidding. I'm not. I ate through almost all of the red part before stopping to take a picture of it. lol
