the mini.
Our cotton candy truck, affectionately named, "The Mini," started its journey as a 1970s Dispatcher Jeep—an iconic "DJ" model once used as a military mail truck. After sourcing parts from across the country, we restored this vintage gem, transforming it into a crowd-favorite that brought smiles to countless guests. For years, The Mini was the heart of our cotton candy events, spinning sweet memories from its retro frame until it was officially retired in 2022. Now, The Mini has evolved to combine vintage charm with modern convenience—delivering the same beloved cotton candy experience in a new and safer vehicle while preserving the nostalgia of the original.
It's Always An Adventure
Our journey with the original Mini was packed with laughs, unexpected bloopers, and memories to last a lifetime. One of the quirkiest challenges? The unreliable fuel gauge—we were never quite sure when we’d run out of gas and always carried a spare can! With no air conditioning or heat, each event became a true adventure, no matter the season. Though The Mini has since retired, its legacy lives on. It was part of thousands of celebrations and became an icon in its own right. Now, with the updated Mini, we continue to deliver sweet, unforgettable experiences, keeping the spirit of joy and adventure alive at every event.
