Sugar should come in other Platonic solids.

Will that be one icosahedron, or two?

I wonder what you'd have to do to make sugar foam. Probably that exists as spun sugar. That seems utterly too civilized, laying a fine curl of spun sugar atop your coffee...

You'd need some kind of binding agent, like gelatin. My people call the result 'marshmallows'. :)

You win the award for best comment thread on LJ that I've seen in months. Or possibly ever.

That is as may be -- he did just imply putting marshmallows in coffee.

Which is a bad idea mostly because of all the other things marshmallows contain along with sugar and gelatin, at least in my opinion.

Like TETRASODIUMPYROPHOSPHATE! <3 <3 <3

I actually like marshmallows in coffee. As long as you let them melt a bit before adding milk.

Sugar will foam nicely if you add a leetle lemon juice or vinegar, bring it to around 250 or a bit higher, and add baking soda. You know, as you do when making brittle.

huh! Does it retain the foam upon cooling? Wherever did you learn that?
