SUGAR FOR YOUR COTTON CANDY
Our ready to use FLOSSUGAR is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine, but and 100%
pure Cane or Beet Sugar will do just fine. Our FLOSSUGAR gives you good rich colors, and great flavors,
too. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with E-Z pour spout for filling your machine.
FLOSSUGAR comes in 8 flavors, and you can easily change colors for greatest variety, and best sales.
If you want to “Mix Your Own”—use our FLOSSINE, and please follow our directions. If you want a deeper
color, slightly dampen the mixed sugar—use a tablespoon of water per five pounds of sugar—sprinkle water
over sugar, and mix well. DO NOT USE EXCESS COLOR—too much color will mess up the ribbons on
your machine, and could impart a bitter taste to the candy. There is a limit as to how dark you can make
cotton candy-that’ s because it is 98% air and we cannot color the air.
Today 99% of the sugar manufactured is “Extra Fine Granulated” which does have some small particles
which can slip through the ribbons without being melted. If this becomes objectionable, you can seek out
Medium Coarse, or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will require a little more heat to melt. Read the
label on the bag of sugar—today we see some “Free Flowing” sugar for restaurants, and it contains
cornstarch, which will burn onto your ribbons, clogging them rapidly. We have also seen some cheap off-
brand “sugar” which is a blend of sugar and dextrose or corn syrup. This product makes very poor cotton
candy. Please make sure you get good sugar for your cotton candy machine.
