"With its fluffy, airy texture and sweet taste, it's no surprise that so many people love cotton candy. In fact, according to Business Research Insights, people love cotton candy so much that the market, which is currently valued at $1.94 billion, is expected to surge to $2.05 billion in 2026, and reach $3.19 billion by 2034. That's a heck of a lot of cotton candy."
"Arguably, there's nothing better than walking around a state fair with a stick of fluffy sweet cotton candy in your hand. But it's also a nice treat to enjoy at home straight out of the bucket, too. Of course, you can opt for the classic, popular flavors like vanilla, green apple, and grape, but there are many weird and wonderful options out there to try, too."
"Yup, this is not a drill. Wisconsin pickle brand Van Holten teamed up with Fairy Tale Cotton Candy to make a dill pickle cotton candy called Big Papa. Not everyone is a huge fan of the concoction, though, so maybe be mindful before you place an order. One Facebook user went so far as to describe it as "one of the most foul things I've ever put in my mouth." However, not everyone agrees, as some enjoyed the unique sweet-tangy combination of sugar and dill."
