Can you make cotton candy with Splenda?!
Then again, how much cotton candy do you want to eat, anyway? The stuff is mostly air, so check this out:
Nutritional Information of Cotton Candy
In a 1 oz serving of cotton candy, there are approximately 105 calories and zero fat. In addition, there are 26.3 grams of carbohydrates in this serving. Since cotton candy is made from sugar, the calories come from the carbohydrates. In a 2 oz serving, the nutritional information would be doubled and approximately consist of 210 calories, 0 fat, and 52.5 grams of carbohydrates. Based on this data, you can easily estimate any nutritional information depending upon the serving size of cotton candy that you prefer to sell or consume.
Answers: No, splenda won't melt / caramelize the way "regular" sugar does, so it won't "spin" into cotton candy.

cotton candy is melted sugar that's spun into a fine thread/web.
I don't know enough about splenda to describe what happens when it melts... behave like sugar? lose it's sweetness? etc.
Edit... Cotton candy is just sugar and food coloring so I'm not sure what is meant by the comment "you don't use regular sugar to make cotton candy in the first place."
You could, but you don't use regular sugar to make cotton candy in the first place so....
