History of Cotton Candy
Source:
http://www.candyusa.org/Candy/cottoncandy.asp
It is unclear who was the first person to invent cotton candy.
Four people, Thomas Patton, Josef Delarose Lascaux, John C. Wharton,
and William Morrison, have all been named as the inventors of the
candy.
Wharton and Morrison received a patent for the cotton candy machine
in 1899. They created the first electric cotton candy machine to
melt and spin sugar through tiny holes using centrifugal force.
After the two candy makers from Tennessee received the patent, Wharton
and Morrison took the invention to the St. Louis World's Fair in
1904.
Patton received a separate patent in 1900 for his process of making
cotton candy. He was experimenting with caramelizing sugar and forming
threads using a fork. Patton used a gas-fired rotating plate to
spin the cotton candy threads. He introduced the candy at Ringley
Bros. Circus and it became popular with children.
Around the same time, a Louisiana dentist, Lascaux, introduced
cotton candy at his dental practice though he never received a patent
or trademark for the confection.
The early machines proved to be unreliable at times. Some simply
broke and others would make loud rattling sounds. In 1949, Gold
Medal Products introduced a more reliable model with a spring base.
This helped to revolutionize cotton candy making.
Today, cotton candy is a great treat to enjoy at a circus, amusement
park or fair. Even though its beginning can be debated, it has become
a favorite summertime candy.......
