Frequently asked questions

🏢 What does Wasa Fun do?

Wasa Fun rents popcorn and cotton candy machines to companies, associations and private individuals.

The machines are suitable for parties, events, trade fairs and fundraising, or anywhere a great atmosphere and a delicious crowd-puller are needed.

🚚 How do I get the equipment?

You can pick up the equipment free of charge from us in Lintuvuori, Mustasaari.

We also deliver the equipment in the Vaasa region for an additional fee (+49 €).

👌 Is the equipment difficult to use?

Not at all – quite the opposite.

The machines are easy to use and quick to set up. We provide clear instructions with the equipment.

⚡ Do the machines need special power or three-phase electricity?

No.

The machines run on a standard power outlet (230 V). We will tell you the exact power requirements in advance so that everything runs smoothly.

🍬 What supplies can I use in the cotton candy machine?

There are several options:

• Regular sugar
• Wasa Fun strawberry sugar, if you want more colourful and festive cotton candy

The choice is yours – both work great in the machines.

🍿 What about popcorn – ready-made packs or kernels?

That is entirely up to you as well:

• You can use the ready-made popcorn packs we sell
• Or make popcorn from regular popcorn kernels following the instructions

Both options work well for events and fundraising.

If you want to season the popcorn, e.g. with popcorn seasoning, we recommend seasoning after popping.

💰 Are popcorn and cotton candy suitable for fundraising?

Very much so!

Popcorn and cotton candy are:

• inexpensive to make
• easy to sell
• popular with all ages

In addition, the smell and the visible preparation attract buyers effectively.

📊 How much can you earn?

This depends on the event, but here is an indicative example:

Example: Popcorn fundraiser

• Selling price: €3 / serving
• Ingredient cost: approx. €0.50 / serving
• Margin: approx. €2.50 / serving

Selling 200 servings:

• Sales: €600
• Costs: approx. €100
• Profit for the association: approx. €500

Example: Cotton candy fundraiser

• Selling price: €3–4 / cotton candy
• Sugar cost: approx. €0.30 / cotton candy

Selling 150 cotton candies at €4:

• Sales: €600
• Costs: approx. €45
• Profit for the association: approx. €555

👥 How many sellers are needed?

Usually 1–2 people per machine is plenty.

One person can make the products and the other handle payments – or the same person can do both at a quieter event.

🧼 What about hygiene and safety?

The machines are designed for food use and are easy to keep clean.
