Besides the “Kwentong Pinoy” that I try to post every now and then, I also thought of trying to post some of the childhood treats I remember from MY childhood days, not a few years ago [yeah right!!], which I bet all of you will be able to relate to. Some things that would light up my days when I was a kid. These could be small stuff, as you know how it was when we were kids! [I mean, we would get excited over bugs and steel buildings for goodness sake!] To start off, here’s something my officemate brought a few days ago [it has been years since I ate one!]:

For all we know, even before there was the “melts-in-your-mouth” M&Ms, the good old cotton candy was already there, which melts as soon as you place it in your mouth without you doing anything. I doubt anyone of us hadn’t heard [or tasted] cotton candy when we were kids. After all, they had this even in peryas, for 5 pesos each [yun nga lang, puro hangin].
Different colors, same sweetness! Still a treat to me today! Yummmm….
Wow, this is making me drool. I love cotton candy, my treats before were similar to yours, but not much of cotton candy because my grandparents were super conscious of the teeth-care. But they always make meringue! Haha!
Posted by sheng at February 7, 2009, 8:42 pmi love cotton candy. I remembered as a child, my mom used to bring this home after work….ah..sarap maging bata.
Happy weekend sistah
Posted by jeanny at February 7, 2009, 8:53 pmAko rin love ko cotton candy! Napansin nyo ba na dati parang dark pink lang ang kulay ng cotton candy? Ngayon iba-iba na…may violet, orange, light green, dark green, at kung anu-anu pa?
Posted by santa at February 8, 2009, 8:49 amlove cotton candies
favorite ko rin yan!
Paborito naming tatlo ang cotton candy lalo na kapag nasa Theme park. Kahit hindi na bata ALIW pa rin
“some things that would light up my days when I was a kid. ”
it still lights me up, but it costs 10 pesos now, outside churches.
Gumagawa na ang Hershey’s ng M&M’s? Hehehe!
I don’t actually like cotton candy, the taste, I mean. Pero I really like how it looks and parang ang saya-saya ko pag may dala-dala akong cotton candy. Pink syempre.
Posted by TPS at February 8, 2009, 9:14 pmmy Mom didn’t like me eating those with the exact reasons - they are full of air. but whenever i get the chance at festivals and when Mom’s not around, i do indulge in one or even two…lol.
Posted by kayni at February 8, 2009, 10:28 pmTPS…what a stupid mistake. kasi naman when we buy the packages at duty free, yung mga plastic of assorted chocolates na, the M&M’s are packed along with Hershey’s chocolates! hay, they better not do that ha! i’m already confused! anyway, edited as appropriate!
Cotton candy was never appealing to me. Baka siguro hindi lang talaga ako mahilig sa sweets. What i considered a cheap thrill when i was a kid [and that was a looong time ago
] was pot-pot. Yung cheese curls na pwede mong ipagpalit sa bote at dyaryo. Yum-yum!!!
Daming kulay ah! Parang dati pink and blue lang meron! Saw an episode in Discovery about sweets one time. Apparently there’s a technique on the proper way to swirl a cotton candy. Yun lang naalala ko, but I think I watched that episode for an hour.
i love cotton candy! mas malaki yung swirl, mas masaya hehe. sa aming lugar, lagi may cotton candy vendor esp sa tanghali. siempre bibili ako. siempre pagagalitan ako ng tatay ko. pero bibili uli ako kinabukasan hahaha
Posted by ka at February 9, 2009, 4:44 pmI used to buy one kahit grown up nako (bubble gum flavor). P25 yata sya sa Megamall. There’s also one in big container from here. Haven’t tried yet.
Posted by witsandnuts at February 9, 2009, 6:05 pmcount me in! i love cotton candy! laging pink yung tinda sa labas ng elementary school namin nun. sobrang tamis, pero bakit sarap na sarap tayo?!

Ako rin! I loved cotton candy when I was a kid. I also loved watching how they’d make it right in front of you. I swear, i always wanted to dip my hand in that cotton candy machine imagining my entire arm becoming one big ball of cotton candy!! sigh… nakaka miss…
