cotton candy
This term refers specifically to the airy, spun-sugar treat common at fairs and carnivals. In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations, this confection is known as candy floss, though the two terms are semantically identical.
As a mass noun, it describes the substance of the candy itself. While one might refer to a "stick of cotton candy" or "a bag of cotton candy" to denote a specific portion, the word "cotton candy" typically functions as an uncountable noun in general usage.
