Cotton Candy
It is unclear who was the first person to invent cotton candy. Four people - Thomas Patton, Josef Delarose Lascaux, John C. Wharton, and William Morrison - have all been named as the inventors of the candy.
Wharton and Morrison received a patent for the cotton candy machine in 1899. They created the first electric cotton candy machine to melt and spin sugar through tiny holes using centrifugal force. After the two candy makers from Tennessee received the patent they took the invention to the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
Patton received a separate patent in 1900 for his process of making cotton candy. He was experimenting with caramelizing sugar and forming threads using a fork. Patton used a gas-fired rotating plate to spin the cotton candy threads. He introduced the candy at Ringling Bros. Circus and it became popular with children.
