Diabetes on a stick.
It's actually not a lot of sugar because it's spun so fluffy. Probably tons more in a candy bar.
In Korea they sold it made into multcoloured flower shapes, bigger than your head! Also saw some animal shapes but mostly these huge flowers, can't imagine why we don't have this here.
Can't see iot so clearly there but the flower is very defined in coloured sections. Google "chinese cotton candy" for lots of pics.

I thought the Aussies that told me that is what they called them where pulling my leg until I looked it all up on the net.

It seems that in Hong Kong they are known as Homecoming Bags because the are used to transport belongings from Hong Kong back to the Chinese Mainland.

Oh wow! That's very interesting.
I have used these bags every time I've moved and I have a bunch of them stacked in my garage full of other people's stuff atm.. they just about never break !
You see them on the luggage belt at airports a lot too. They are bizarrely tough.

Guess what we call them here in Denmark (and bear in mind that we were the first country in modern times to set free picture pornography
).

Algodão doce, literally "Sweet cotton"...
We call that stuff cotton candy, as has been pointed out.
And it's disgusting.
@Miss Chicken this is a great idea for a thread. Very interesting
Keep it up.

They look like picnic bags? My parents had one and it included a blanket among other things.
