Description
Dragon's Beard Candy has been described as an old-fashioned candy characterized by a "rich, sweet flavor" with a threaded, chewy texture. Its appearance resembles that of a white cocoon or pillow shape. It has a very high sugar content (29%), and may be considered additionally unhealthy due to its 4% saturated fat content. For comparison, comparing Dragon's Beard Candy with cotton candy, cotton candy has no fat content. Despite the fact that the candy is well-known traditionally, it is typically not popular to keep within a household since it primarily has a very short shelf life, due to its high sensitivity to moisture, as well as the tendency of the candy to melt when exposed to higher temperatures, including atypically warm weather conditions.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
