What happens when a dentist and a candymaker meet? Together,
William Morrison, a dentist, and John C. Wharton, a handymaker,
invented the modern version of cotton candy, a treat popular with both
the young and old. The two sold their cotton candy at the Paris
Exposition in 1900 and the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 for 25¢ a box,
and the rest is history. The fascinating story of how cotton candy
found its place in American culture is as sweet as the treat itself.
