Cotton Candy
From a Alton Brown point of view it is considered a non liquid because it comes from a solid. Sorry kids basic science....But the actual calorie count of one sticky gluey mass is enough for 20 of us to dump just one bite each....What da say we should go get some and pass it around at the next get together?

My personal criteria for liquid is how can I be 100 percent sure it would be liquid upon swallowing-cotton candy is borderline-I've never tried to swallow it without chewing it down to liquid. I know you can take it like putty and make little balls out of it and that would go down as a solid.
I don't know...I may have to disagree.
It's spun sugar...and although that starts as a solid, so does the sugar that we put in our coffee before it desolves.
When cotton candy hits your tongue, it melts...to nothingness, really.
Besides the calorie/sugar content, I don't see why it wouldn't be okay to eat during the liquid phase.
