Brits call cotton candy "candy floss".
Candy Floss is a term for cotton candy that is commonly used by Brits.

And in Australia and Finland the name "fairy floss" is used for cotton candy.
Cotton candy or Candy Floss is made primarily of sugar.
Cotton candy is made by melting sugar and then spinning the melted sugar through a machine that has tiny holes, where it then solidifies into thin, fluffy strands as it cools down.
The process also involves heat, centrifugal force and rapid cooling to create a characteristic cotton like texture.
Granulated sugar is the main ingredient in cotton candy.
