What is the chemical formula for cotton candy?

Cotton candy doesn't have a single chemical formula because it's a mixture of several ingredients. The primary components are:

* Sugar (sucrose): The main ingredient, its chemical formula is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

* Flavoring: This can vary widely, but it's typically a flavoring extract or essential oil.

* Coloring: Food coloring is added to give cotton candy its color, which can be various chemical compounds depending on the color.

So, instead of a single formula, think of cotton candy as a combination of these substances, with the sugar being the predominant ingredient.
