   I’ll say eeeew at the shape it’s in, but it looks like a cotton candy spinner. Could be a fiberglass spinner though.

   Bingo Ben. I think this was the fastest puzzle solution yet… and the first time someone nailed it with the first guess.

   The pink is bubble gum flavored cotton candy.

   Solid sugar grains are poured in the top. Then, heat in the spinner melts the sugar and it resolidifies as it flies out through the air.

   I must say that I have a weakness for cotton candy. 😀 I love the way it’s made.

   Man, no respect for the guessing powers of the winner! *laugh* Just kidding! Looks like too many sweet teeth running around Steve. *grin*

   It’s a cool picture though. Next time I see one, it’ll go into squared circle though!

   Ben: Right you are! I saw one of these for the first time today (as an operator), so it was totally foreign to me.

   They are very cool to watch, almost mystical how the fibers appear. If one day we could spin carbon nanotubes that easily and quickly, we’d be SO SET.
