Crocodiles and alligators look very much alike, but there are ways to tell them apart. The crocodile has a pointy snout, while the alligator's snout is rounder. The crocodile weighs less than the alligator and can move faster. Both animals have an extra-long lower tooth. When the mouth is closed, the tooth is hidden inside the mouth.

If cotton candy had a list of ingredients on the side of the bag, it would be a very short list: sugar and food coloring would be the only two things on it. So, how does sugar become the fluffy treat that we know as cotton candy? In today’s cotton candy machines, the process starts with a small amount of colored sugar spinning in the head of the machine. The sugar is heated until it melts, and then it is squeezed out through tiny holes in the spinning head. The melted sugar becomes solid in the air and is caught in a larger bowl that surrounds the spinning head. The product builds up in the bowl as the machine operates, and the person running the machine should occasionally twirl a stick or cone around the bowl to gather the sugared strands. You may not have a cotton candy machine lying around your house, but you probably have all of the ingredients that you need to make it. So close, yet so far away…

Most American families can afford to buy cotton candy these days, but it wasn’t always that way. Cotton candy was first made in Europe during the 17^th century, but making it back then took a lot of work and most people couldn’t afford it. In 1897 William Morrison and John Wharton invented machine-spun cotton candy. This made cotton candy much cheaper to produce. People fell in love with the treat when Morrison and Wharton introduced it at the 1904 World's Fair. Morrison and Wharton called the treat “fairy floss,” it was Joseph Lascaux who actually called the treat “cotton candy” in 1921. The next big breakthrough came in the 1970s, when a machine was invented that created the cotton candy and packaged it automatically. This made producing and distributing cotton candy cheaper and easier than ever. Now cotton candy can be found in carnivals, fairs, and circuses around the world. Aside from the delicious taste, the best part about today’s cotton candy is its affordability.
