I love sugar.
Actually, I have a deep and troubled relationship with sugar which involves me not ever getting enough of the stuff. I just can’t satisfy my desire for it.
So imagine my delight (and fear) upon seeing a vegan automated candy floss machine in a London shopping mall today!
Read more below.


I was inside a shopping centre imaginatively named The Mall in Wood Green today when I stumbled upon this amazing situation.
Not only was it a fully automated candy floss machine that spins sugar and food dye and delivers it to you on a stick through a door, it was also clearly labelled as vegan!
My memories of candy floss run deep into my childhood and I remember attending local fairs and visiting circuses in Australia where I would always grab a bag of candy floss. Now that I think about it, that must be where my obsession with sugar was cemented.
Anyway, enough about my addictions. Get along to The Mall in Wood Green and find this machine opposite the entrance to B&M on the upper level.
