To shrivel to a candy floss nothing
Hi,
I know that the expression "to shrivel to nothing" exists, but I am not sure of the meaning, and today I came upon this sentence: "the whole lot would shrivel to a candy floss nothing"
Does anyone have an idea what it means exactly?
Thank you!

They have stuff called "cotton candy" at carnivals etc. It has practically no density. You could take a cubic foot of the stuff and crush it to practically nothing.
I guess you'd call "candy floss" a compound adjective.
I suppose the use of the article in "a nothing" is a lit
