Korean Fairy Floss

Jessica brought this back for me from Korea:

It’s a bag of cotton candy fairy floss that comes with ‘stickers’ so you can make a face.

Thats what was inside, and you can see that the stickers – printed on a thin piece of what feels like cake icing – broke a bit in transit.

I did my best, and the above shows the face I created. Does it look like anyone you know?

Bagged fairy floss is common in Japan, and now I assume Korea as well. It sounds strange but it’s quite delicious, although it’s more solid than the freshly made variety.

I’ve had fairy floss by this same manufacturer before. In fact I once ate so much I almost wrote a script for a Chinese snake movie. So without ceremony I didn’t hesitate to try it…

And it was awful. It had a terrible taste, like burned coffee (which I’ve never tasted) or rotten caramel (also never tasted) or even unripe persimmon (never will taste). And it wasn’t just me who thought this: not only did KLS also hate it, but when I texted the packaging to Jessica to ask what the flavour was she checked online and said the reviews for it were awful.

We never did find out what it was supposed to taste like 🙂
