Transfat free, no cholesterol

June
21

The first day of summer, the Yankees are playing this afternoon and we’ve got cotton candy in the office.
Organic cotton candy from Whole Foods.
“Pure Fun,â€? it’s called in a silly pun.
Now there’s nothing healthful about this stuff. Here are the ingredients: organic evaporated cane juice, natural fruit and vegetable coloring and natural flavor.
In other words, maple-flavored sugar.
Fifteen grams of it and nothing else. The only other numbers on the nutrition facts panel are zeros.
It looks a little like insulation, but if you like sugar, it tastes great.

And in case you were wondering, it’s vegan too. And kosher.

    i am cinfused. there should be no transfat in cotton candy. its heated granulated sugar. i used to have a cotton candy machine at home when i was a little kid and there were no safty issues with having a toy that went to 1000 degrees.
