Yep - I'd like to see a picture too....wondering why it's called sponge candy....?

In America, we call it cotton candy, and in England it’s called candy floss or fairy floss. Whatever name you call it, it’s good! You got my HIGH 5 for it! :)

I've just added a picture of what sponge candy looks like. It is divine! It's so light inside, it's no wonder some people call it fairy candy. It is not cotton candy. That's spun sugar. Entirely different premise.
