00:00 But why is the Barbapapa pink?
00:02 To make a Barbapapa, we heat sugar at high temperature
00:06 and we spin it in a specific machine with a cone in the center.
00:11 Under the effect of heat and centrifugal force,
00:14 the sugar swells and forms filaments that can then be wrapped in the form of clouds around a long stick.
00:20 Originally, the Barbapapa is white since it is only sugar and air.
00:25 However, to make it more attractive to children, confectioners add a colorant.
00:29 This one is generally pink, although there are other, much less common options.
00:34 It is therefore from this colorant that the Barbapapa takes its color.
