The Sweet Surprise: Cotton Candy’s Toothsome Origin
Cotton candy, that iconic sugary treat adored by people of all ages, has an unexpectedly tooth-friendly origin. It was actually invented by a dentist! In 1897, a dentist named William Morrison and his confectioner friend John C. Wharton patented the world’s first electric cotton candy machine.
Originally known as “fairy floss,“ this delightful creation was introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. Despite its connection to a profession typically associated with dental health, cotton candy quickly became a beloved carnival and amusement park staple.
While it may not be the healthiest snack, the sweet and airy delight continues to bring joy to millions, all thanks to a dentist’s inventive spirit. This whimsical story reminds us that even the most unexpected sources can lead to the creation of timeless and beloved treats.
