QuestionWhat is "flossing sugar"? (See response below to Renee from 'NPG Product Expert'). Can I use granulated sugar instead? If not, where can I buy flossing sugar? If granulated works, can I add liquid flavorings (maybe mint, strawberry)?
Asked 7 years ago by SweetTooth.
- Answer yes you can add standard white sugar. NO you can't add liquid flavoring, this will ruin the machine for sure.

QuestionIf you use sugar, how can you add color or flavor? Is it possible to use a packet of Kool-Aid in the sugar?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I goggled this product on u-tube and there's many videos. One stated powdered candy like war heads,pixie stix.... so I'd guess koolaid,too. Then another points to a online purchase of cotton candy sugars and sticks to purchase. My search is for a healthy sugar like organic and flavorings, and healthy sugar alternatives like monk fruit,stevia etc. I'll post as I learn. But utube goggle search will be a great resource for your questions.

QuestionI saw in the reviews that someone said it was messy when using two pieces of candy.....what makes it so messy?
Asked 7 years ago by Slmc.
- Answer I don't feel like it is messy by using two pieces of candy. When you add your candy or sugar crystals to the spinning unit just be careful to not over fill it but with continuous gathering the spun sugar onto the cone things work out great.
