Regular cotton candy is always so sweet. I don't like pork rinds though (basically because the concept is so disgusting), so maybe pork is a bad idea for cotton candy. Who knows.

The bag says, 「花糖」"hua1 tang2" which means "flower candy." In Japan, they also have 「金華糖」"kinkato" ("gold flower candy") which is a kind of melted sugar treat used in festivals for good fortune. The Japanese version has one extra character, 「金」or "gold," and the second one, 「華」is the traditional version of the simplified character「花」on the bag. I'm pretty sure that it is very similar, if not identical, to the Chinese version. I can check on this more later, when I have some more time... I think the pig is probably in reference to this being the year of the boar... Stew,
