Scrumdiddlyumptious chocolate chat!
Roald Dahl displays an encyclopedic knowledge of all things chocolate back in 1989.

[@lafreewaylafreeway]

A man after my own heart 🍫

[@majesticdonuts0038]

a man whose books gobbled up my childhood

[@politicalscientist8880]

He should write a book about it

I see what you did there 😉

So sweet and charming a gentleman!❤

Awww i love Roald Dahl

[@davedogge2280]

I remember this quite distinctly and found out when Cadburys Chocolate Buttons were invented and it was 1960 !!

[@JRDN1]

I’d argue that’s just a new shape!

This dude got me into reading.

[@vik3071]

Wasn't he wonderful💜

[@shaun5944]

I'm fascinated by this man. I've never seen him in an interview before. I love that he knows so much about chocolate 🍫 it tells me why he understands how a childs mind works and how he was able to write ✍️ for them, amazing man. 👍🇬🇧🍫

[@JesseStevenTrumm3992]

Purely a genius, his books were my favorite growing up

[@FetterFish]

His books are currently being rewritten in order to not insult anyone. Augustus is now not anymore being called fat but enormous and a black tractor from one of his books is now considered racist. Wtf is wrong with this world?

[@StratsRUs]

​@@FetterFishThe changes started ages ago.The Willy Wonka oompah-loompahs in the movie were , originally, in the book , black Pygmies. It's important to remember his actual writings, as he was an anti-Semite , a racist and a great children's writer. He hated kids too. Perfect for today's pink and blotchy hordes.

[@rosssmith8481]

A hard to find 80's British TV program called the South Bank show, did a really weird and strange documentary on Roald Dhal. In it recites all his knowledge of chocolate.

[@K.F-R]

He's not wrong.

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

Well he is cos chocolate existed prior to 1921

[@KM-cb8ff]

Not about chocolate. He's a little bit wrong about other things 😆

[@Early100]

Legend 😂

[@24Roxyx]

Love it when you find out successful people have normal hobbies like snooker, gardening, instead of jet setting and the usual showing off of designer clothes a d flashy cars. None of that stuff makes you truly happy inside. It's the small things that count. That's why there's so many young people depressed and on drink and drgs. They take the small things in life for granted and chase all the wrong things they see on social media.

[@inesfreire9135]

I love chocolate too 🤤🍫

[@carwynroberts1938]

Awww its sad that he died i love his books❤❤❤😢😢

[@s.a7711]

His books made my childhood primary school days 😢✨

[@benwakefield93]

I've watched quite a few of his interviews and he seemed like a very nice humble intelligent man.

[@fffffffffffffffffark]

He knew the POTUS and was allegedlly involved in espionage. He was shot down in his plane in WWII and survived. His story is fascinating.

Unless you're Jewish, anyway. Then it's nothing but piss and scorn.

Only someone this dedicated and knowledgeable about chocolate could have written about Willy Wonka and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!! Everyone eats chocolate like it’s nothing and doesn’t even think about them. but who could recite dates and history of them to you? No one

Double Deckers were invented in the '70s :P
