It may only be a few seconds long, but this clip of a raccoon attempting to ‘wash’ some cotton candy serves as a powerful metaphor for life…
Like many great videos on the Internet, there is almost no context for this Vine.

The furry animal transfers the goods from dry land to water, perhaps in hopes of washing it.
But then, disaster:
