Candy floss or cotton candy for you Americans was invented by the American dentist William Morrison

Morrison introduced machine-spun candy floss at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. I wonder if Dr. Morrison ever had to tell any one of his patients to eat less cotton candy.

haha the sweet irony, this reminded me of richard gatling and his gatling machine gun when he wrote that he created it to reduce the size of armies and so reduce the number of deaths.

Yes, sweet irony.

That is interesting and funny.
Cotton Candy being invented/prepared for the first time by a dentist. Major conflict of interest :-)

You can say that again!

Thats called job security for the dentists lol.

Hi Markku. That is classic. A dentist inventing candy floss. Opposite to what you would expect.

Well, I think he did it double intention to have more clients, JAJA

I find it a bit ironic that cotton candy was invented by a dentist. But it is very good to know now, though it may have been on purpose to have more clients.

I think there was no shortage of people who badly needed a dentist back in those days.

Hahahaha very interesting that a dentist invented that.

I wonder if Dr. Morrison would ever had to tell any one of his patients to eat less cotton candy.
I don't know but maybe this increased the number of patients hahaha

I find some link with Willy Wonka and his dad who was a dentist.
