      He was given more cotton candy and eventually figured out that it can’t go in water and ate some dry.

    Same in Japanese. araiguma translates as washing bear.

      On the contrary, in French it is raton-laveur, which translates to washing baby rat.

        French is clearly more correct than German here. They are rats not bears

  They don’t clean it, at least that’s not their intention. They don’t have saliva, so they’re really just trying to get it wet.

  It’s more like those hot dog eating contests where they dunk the whole thing in water.
