Sir, I'm thoroughly enjoying this cotton candy novelty. Are you sure you don't want one? No, Jarvis. And it to me, and I'll demonstrate why... First, we remove the paper cone, which is at best a nickel item. Next, we proceed to compress these fun cotton material... Finally, we arrive at a small wad of flavored sugar goo. Here you go... Price? $4.50. Hardly a sensible benefit cost ratio! No, Jarvis... I think I'll wait until we reach the kettle corn kiosk.

Yeah but that red food colouring is hand squeezed from cochineal beetles by Egyptian virgins

Well, certainly that small wad is not worth $4.50…. Long-suffering Jarvis just absorbs the hit and moves on, as so many times before.Will the worm ever turn?

The value is not just in the materials. There’s also the the entertainment.

No, Meddick! Do not rob me of the wonder and nostalgia I associate with cotton candy by exposing it for what it truly is!

My theory is that cotton candy is the perfect sugary snack. You put it on your tongue and it disappears. What did I just eat? Nothing. It vaporized! I think James needs to bop that kid on the head for ruining his cotton candy! My favorite cotton candy memory is when I dropped it on the ground and tried to wash it off. Fascinating!

The newer polyester candy is a much better deal.
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member over 12 years ago

Anybody ever freeze cotton candy? What happens? does it break when you touch it? Somebody do an experiment, quick……

Jarvis absorbs the punishment because he is paid very well to do so.

Little brat ruined the candy his servant was enjoying. Most dyes and colorings are made of nasty stuff- totally OK for fabric, but I prefer only FOOD in my food. I like the idea of Cochneal and Woad for fabric dyes however.

A hard lesson in economics. Poor Jarvis.

Well it’s certainly not worth $4.50 when some spoiled brat wads it up and denies you the pleasure of eating it!
