When you were growing up, did you enjoy going to fairs?
I remember having so much fun going to the Wisconsin State Fair! Some of my favorite things to do there were eating cream puffs 🤤and riding the SkyGlider.
At small fairs, I remember having a blast on rides and enjoying snow cones and cotton candy. The blue cotton candy was my preferred cotton candy. 😋Yes, I was aware that it tasted the same as the pink cotton candy. 😆
I just LOVED cotton candy! Now, I think it is too sweet. 😉 What do you think of it?
This week’s song is “Don’t You Love Cotton Candy?” from “The Runaway Club,” Season 5, Episode 16 of Bob’s Burgers.
The episode is a hilarious parody of The Breakfast Club, and the kids want to be out at the cotton candy festival rather than stuck in detention. The song is a parody of “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds.
Lyrics:
Don’t you love cotton candy?
It’s made of cotton and also candy
If your fingers get sticky
Eat off your hand
Lickety-licky
Don’t you love cotton candy?
Ah, don’t, don’t
Don’t, don’t
Don’t you love cotton candy?
Oh, yeah
The song is funny! 😂 I have never heard of a cotton candy festival, but if I had been able to go to one as a kid, I definitely would have—and definitely would have gotten sick from eating too much cotton candy. 🤣
How do you like the song?
What fairs/festivals did you enjoy when you were growing up? What were you favorite foods to get there?
Wishing you well! 💛

That Bob’s Burgers “Cotton Candy” song is absolutely hysterical. I recall eating cotton candy as a youngster, and having no issue downing a whole “serving.” I tried eating some a few years ago and it tasted so sugary a couple bites was more than enough to satisfy the sweet tooth. Fairs around here growing up usually featured ice cream waffles. A brick of ice cream between what were probably just Eggos-like waffles. But as a kid, they were the ultimate treat!
I can absolutely relate to just a few bites of cotton candy being more than enough for me nowadays! 😁 The ice cream waffles sound like they would have been AMAZING! 😋Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
