Pizza is a SANDWICH?! ► • Food Theory: What Make...
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a gem in the history of movies. It stands out not just for the acting and the main story, but all of the things you can find hiding beneath the surface. It is a surprisingly ominous movie and the character of Willy Wonka is at the center of the horror. We've talked about Wonka using the Golden Tickets to pass off his OSHA violations onto the winner, but what if that was not the only trick he's trying to pull? What else is Willy Wonka up to?

If it truly was rigged to begin with, it makes Wonka even more of a business genius than Charlie's grandfather gave him credit for. Instead of inviting five predetermined kids to the tour, Wonka used the rumor of a random-chance event to rake in billions through sales and publicity.

Interesting theory. ) Also one of the first things I thought about was wealth distribution. If I remember correctly the book, the bars were not cheap (at least not for Charlie, who was simply very poor). Also funny thing is, Charlie was walking past the factory nearly regularly, so he lived at the same town, where the Wonkas' factory was situated. So even as a child I thought, how convenient it was that the golden tickets happened to appear close the factory itself (maybe just some of them, but still suspicious!). :) Concerning the "kid question", wasn't it explicitly stated, that the excursion to the factory was for kids? As I understand, if grown-ups found the tickets, then they were supposed to give them to their children. As, I think, was with Veruca.

That gives me an idea for a sequel. Basically, Charlie inherits the factory but calls back everybody else (who've all matured into adults by now) to help him since they were all chosen save for one: Veruca. Veruca would be the antagonist, trying to take Wonka down by building up her father's business to compete with Wonka. I think that would make for an interesting story.

Personal theory: Veruca Salt was the only kid who got her golden ticket 'legitimately'. She had the personal finances and manpower to basically just hit the slot machine infinitely and grind out the probability until she got one. Willy Wonka was almost immediately openly hostile to her, partly because she's the most unlikable brat on the planet, but also possibly because she forced her way into the factory while all the other kids were 'chosen'.

[@louise6093]

God I hate Veruca.

[@spooderman6312]

@@johnather I thought the same

[@frozenfiredarknight3764]

so Agustus had a sugar rush habit that eventually lead him to the ticket, Violet pretty much got "awarded" for her search, Veruca demanded her father to force the ticket to come right into her hands, and Mike... well he was chosen. even though he never liked candy. only violence in video games. (quick note. I watched *Charley* and the chocolate factory more than the original *Willy Wonka* version. so my references are more on Charley than Willy Wonka)

[@baconator6]

Even more evidence that Charlie's chocolate bat was planted is that it was one of two chocolate bars that were not in an organized pile on the shelf, but instead leaned up against the pile almost as if it were put there earlier not in a shipment

Here's my question: Why does he send out five golden ticket and tell everyone. Thus summoning the world's biggest companies, the chocolate factory's biggest competition, and the biggest, meanest, most cut-throat business men of that time, when all he wanted was a kind modest child. (and you best believe that Disney wants some Mickey Mouse chocolate bars). And why would he send five when he only wanted one child? P.S.: What if a signal adult found the a golden ticket?

[@anunlitmatchstick5698]

Every child except for Charlie were chosen because they all had an aspect of their upbringing/family that would lend itself to running the factory. Veruca's father was a prominent business owner (management) and Veruca was able to get anything she wants out of the people around her. Augustus's father was a prominent butcher (international management) with international ties and Augustus was a food lover who would enjoy the food itself. Violet's father was a politician (business policies/regional politics/HR) so she could learn politics and Violet was a determined and competitive girl. Mike was a tv lover and would be great with marketing and technology. I imagine that different members of Wonka's team chose them because of these attributes while Wonka decided to give his choice to the candy shop owner. The candy shop owner chose Charlie because he could see Charlie staring from the window before work and when the last ticket was "found", Charlie bought chocolate not because of the prize, but because he genuinely wanted some and even thought of his grandpa. ...but that's just a theory

2:41 that did not age well😭

[@BC_Carle]

I love the idea that wonka predetermined the kids because it’s so interesting to think of how he would’ve chosen them. Veruca and Violet both have rich fathers with companies so they would have “experience” with business type matters and how a factory would run. Augustus is CLEARLY passionate about chocolate so he could even have ideas about expanding the company with new products (? Or maybe he’d just love the job lol) Mike honestly just seems like he’d grow up to be some business guy, even though during the story he’s always seen as this typical boy obsessed with TV. He’s direct and clearly says what’s on his mind. Also because of how much more “childlike” he’s portrayed, he seems to be in touch with who his target demographic would be if he were to run the company. Then Charlie was a lot harder to guess on but the most likely reason would be because he lives so close to the Wonka Factory. I don’t know how Wonka could’ve known who he is even with that information but that’s MatPat’s job to figure out, not mine! (Just kidding, amazing theory 💚🎮)

[@seamussloan2565]

Also taking in mind that it was a multimillion dollar company, in the hypothetical chance that someone that didn't speak english could've gotten the ticket, Wonka would've had no problem hiring an interpreter

[@artistwithouttalent]

I figure they would just handwave it away as him knowing the language or having some device do the translating. Even if every single one of the kids and their families spoke a different language and _none_ of them spoke English, plus whatever language the Oompa Loompas speak, that's still "only" seven languages, and there are real people who can blow that figure out of the water.

I love this theory on a lot of levels. 1. I just really loved this movie growing up. Still do if I'm honest. 2. I enjoy these types of videos where, to paraphrase Mat, the research topic is so obscure and ridiculous that it's hard to find information on. And it's very in-depth. 3. He brings up topics of race and ethnicity in a respectful and non-political way. I'm not sure if this is a Southern issue or not, but I swear to god everyone around here thinks everything's political, especially if it deals with race or other similar topics. (Ethnicity, wealth, LGBTQ+, etc.) 4. This episode is a good example of acknowledging that he's doing well (referring to subscriber and fanbase) without being self-absorbed. 5. I feel smart after watching it. That's it. TLDR: I like MatPat and his videos. P.S. I'm aware that basic respect shouldn't be awarded, and that it should be normal, but I'm just saying that I appreciate it.

[@brittanybrown1937]

You missed the real nail in the coffin: The other "winners" had obsessions that lead them to harm while in the factory...in rooms practically (and possibly) designed to tempt them each specifically, to the point where Wonka isn't even surprised by any of it. Then the actual "winner" just happens to be a kid from the town the factory is in, with a family member who used to work in the factory? Charlie was clearly hand chosen to inherit Wonka's FDA nightmare. Clever scheme to take his wealth and run before the legality of his deathtrap catches up with him.

[@TheSteelmushroom]

Though at the same time what would really be the point of inviting those kids in the first place so they end up in traps specifically for them and wasting some time walking around when he could of asked Charlie in person? Charlie would very most likely would of accepted it because of the poor financial state of his family and he wants to care for his family in anyway possible which would of saved Wonka a lot of trouble or time. It could of possibly been for publicity maybe but then the company is already global and has a good reputation. Maybe Wonka a sadist but there probably no evidence to suggest that based off his personality plus his character seems very carefree which probably explains why he not surprised a lot of the time. Also I'm pretty sure in the original movie Charlie floated up using bubbles to a ceiling fan and almost got sliced up but luckily avoided that at the last second.

[@marhawkman303]

@@TheSteelmushroom I'd argue that Wonka fels that if he just hands it over Charlie won't appreciate it, and that if Charlie thinks he earned it that he'd cherish it more.

Grandpa Joe only worked for Wonka in the shitty remake. Unless he did also in the book...because I haven't read it.

[@TheSteelmushroom]

@@marhawkman303 That another good point but was it worth it? Maybe, though if Charlie didn't appreciate or at least worked hard with the company then he wouldn't be able to support his family. And it can be a bit hard to tell if Wonka cares for just his business to continue or if he wants the new owner to enjoy working there. So it unclear at this point since there a lack of evidence.

[@marhawkman303]

@@TheSteelmushroom Also it's unclear what Wonka expects of Charlie. Wonka's not retiring tomorrow, so Charlie's gonna have to work for his inheritance.

The only immediate change is Charlie and his family being allowed to relocate immediately.

My Wanka Theory is that during the remake, Wanka went into that tour planning to give the factory to the TV kid. TV kid is the only one he tried 'connecting' with at the gates while the others he looked at like a pile of hot garbage. The kid had shown he won through his intellect by figuring out to play the system, intellect that would have helped in running a candy factory. Then during the 'candy explosion' room the kid started badmouthing the idea of candy which is when Charlie spoke up and Wanka changed his mind.

At the time the movie was shown during the 70's, I remember that American products were pretty hard to obtain in my country, the Philippines. In fact, there was only one speciality store where you could get it consistently and when we were kids, we were always very excited during the rare moments when our mom would go that store and buy American made breakfast cereals, chocolate milk powder and candies for us. (Of course, everything was sold with premium prices) If the Wonka movie actually happened in real life during that time, our chances of finding a ticket would only be slightly higher than Charlie's.

Pretty sure the "accidents" during Wonka's tour were planned out carefully too: 1. When the tour group rides in both the paddleboat and later on in the Wonkawash car, ALL SEATS ARE FULL.

At some point in one of the two movies (I forget which) someone notes that the oompa loompas seem to have their performances oddly... memorized. Choreographed. Rehearsed. As if they knew exactly what was going to happen. Wonka tries to cover for this by calling it improvisation. It's very clear that you are correct. They weren't accidents. They were traps, to see if Wonka's 'read' on each kid really was accurate. Would Augustus abuse the factory to give himself chocolate? Could Violet overcome her competitive spirit to follow good advice? Would Veruca's greed get the better of her? Would Mike's ambition lead him to self-destruction? Well, the answer is yes.

I found something interesting a few months ago. Apparently the kid that played Charley was not told in advance that Wonka was going to yell at him at the end so that they could get a genuine reaction. Gene Wilder said he really wanted to tell him it was coming and that it was just going to be acting but the director forbade it. It looks like some other things like that were surprises to the actors too such as the candy garden room, Wonka's limp and somersault and his acting on the boat.

[@IJustWantAMocha]

That’s actually really cool xD thanks for letting us know learning something everyday thanks.

[@johndododoe1411]

The limp was reportedly a surprise to the director too.

[@forensikarie]

Sorry for being THAT person but if this is true, then this is a pretty shitty move from the production team in my opinion. Of course it's not like the kid will be traumatized by this but it's just not cool to not tell a child in advance that something scary might happen, especially when that child is literally working for you. Child actors are already under a lot of stress and pressure and I don't like how they unnecessarily and intentionally not told him crucial information about a scene in order to get better shots. If I was him, I would have started to wonder what else they might not have told me yet. It's a pretty interesting fact though, thanks for sharing

In the musical (the American version anyway not sure if the British one is different) Wonka pretends to be the candy man in Charlie’s town order to start selling more chocolate. He meets Charlie and Charlie even sparks the idea for the golden tickets. they don’t try to hide the fact that Wonka knew exactly who to give the factory too, he just wanted to murder some kids first.

[@tsquaredtim]

The conclusion you came up with has to be right. Especially when you point out the Slugworth connection. I though that when I first saw the movie as a child. How did Slugworth know who had the golden tickets so quickly? But that last bit about finding the coin in the drain and then the Candy Man handing him the bar? You cracked the mystery. Great video.

[@cardgameEngineer]

The reason for all the British actors is, I assume, because Roald Dahl’s original book is set in England, with Wonka being inspired by Cadbury who would send test chocolates to schools so the children could try them and give them feedback - read “Boy”, Dahl’s first memoir, for more.

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

I'd say that Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory was just an Americanized version of Roald's story. Also, Why are Americans too stubborn to give any other adaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory that is not the Gene Wilder one a chance? The Tim Burton film (which is not a fucking remake!) and the original book had some redeeming qualities to them. Plus, they had to modify the Broadway play to make it like the Wilder one because a flood of Karens would get triggered if it wasn't like the Wilder one

[@missmangobat5628]

Thank you! I was really a bit disappointed that he didn't think of the book, since that explains the British actors.

The Colorization Channel Yes! I have seen the Tim Burton version first and I loved it! It really needs some more appreciation.

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

@@missmangobat5628 indeed. It works as it's own unique adaptation of the story. If those Karens say that the Tim Burton adaptation was just a remake of the Gene Wilder version, then by that logic, The Passion of The Christ is a remake of The Last Temptation of Christ. See how stupid that sounds?

[@missmangobat5628]

The Colorization Channel You're right, that's the same logic. People really need to realise that there can be multiple own adaptations, that are not rip-offs of their favourites. And I guess that those Karens don't even know that the movies are based off a book, they probably don't read anyways.
