A:AnswerI 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.
A:AnswerI 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.
A:AnswerI am not sure what you mentioned by the "boxes of cotton candy" means but if you are talking about the sugar, yes you can use sugar in place the hard candy for this machine.
A:AnswerYes you can definately. You know my favorite thing to use besidee just sugar is after xmas clearance candy canes are so cheap and they make great tasting cotton candy and the flavors are really unique that u cant find those flavor flosses in stores lol.
A:AnswerNo, if you wanted to plug it in to an Australian outlet you would probably need some sort of converter. The machine plugs into a standard American outlet
