How invented it

[mermaid]

Cotton candy:In 1897 William Morrison and John C. Wharton, from Nashville, Tennessee, invented a way of heating and spinning sugar in thin threads onto a stick so that it forms a large ball of fine material. When you eat it, it melts in the mouth. It is commonly found, along with toffee apples, at fairs and carnivals


Chewing gum:In 1845 Thomas Adams gave up trying to make a synthetic type of rubber from chicle, the dried sap of a Mexican jungle tree. He put some chicle in his mouth and started munching on it. He realised that he had discovered another use for it. He added some flavours such as liquorice and mint and it has not stopped selling since then


Popsicles:In 1905 eleven-year-old Frank Epperson mixed up a fruit drink in his back garden, in San Francisco. By accident he left the drink outside overnight. When he discovered it in the morning, the juice had frozen around the mixing stick. Young Frank had invented something which would make him a lot of money


Potato chips: In 1853 a customer at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Spring, New York, was being very awkward about his French Fries - he was complaining that they were too thick. Chef George Crum made up another batch but the customer was still not satisfied. Annoyed by the customer, Curm made a batch that was so thin it was impossible to eat with a fork. To his surprise, the customer loved them, and these days so do the rest of the world
