The Fluffy Stuff


The other night I was playing on ISketch.net and I got the word CandyFloss... well I had no idea that was the same thing as Cotton Candy! Cotton candy is also known as CandyFloss, Fairy Floss, Old woman's hair, Doll's hair, Papa's beard and few other names...

The most popular color of cotton candy is pink, though any color can be made. (I like Blue )




There is something about Cotton Candy that makes me think of Clouds... and if I was to eat the clouds that is how they would taste... I know its not logicial but a girl can dream right?

lightning bugs & FireFlys



I Remeber Catching "lighting bugs" when I was a little kid...in the summer time in my back yard...I remeber watching them in jar in my bedroom light up I thought it was kool and then next day release them.


Do you wonder where fireflies got their internal light? Fireflies actually contain the so-called Luciferin. This substance when combined with oxygen will enable them to produce light. This process is called bioluminescence and they light up to attract the mate. Same is true with angler fish which also produces light, but they use it to catch the prey.

Pez Candy!

So many different ones to choose from but there is only one "Worlds Largest Pez Dispenser"






The World's Biggest Pez Dispenser stands 7 foot 10 inches tall - over 20 times the size of a normal Pez dispenser. Yes, the World's Biggest Pez Dispenser works!
It dispenses a clear plastic capsule that can hold 6480 Pez candies or a standard size Pez dispenser. Completed in September of 2006, a retired "Snowman B" (1986-2001) Pez dispenser was used as the model. The World's Largest Pez Dispenser weighs 85 lbs. The Burlingame Museum is where you can see the World's Largest Pez Dispenser.
