One little word choice correction, The 2005 movie isn't a re-make, it's an adaptation of the book that is much more faithful to them than the older movie. The children of the author didn't like the old movie, so they were heavily involved in the newer one. They even used the song lyrics straight from the page. Also, fun fact. The actor for Agustus is a complete dead ringer for the description in the book. He was so perfectly fit for the role visually that he was chosen despite the fact that he doesn't speak any english, and in-fact couldn't swim.

To be fair, its valid that Wonka wouldnt want someone touching the liquid chocolate. Its a safe assumption that at somepoint down the line, the chocolate from the river gets repurposed into chocolate bars, or other chocolate candy, hence why he wouldnt want some child putting his dirty little fingers in it. That also begs the question as to why he would make that kind of chocolate so accessible

More faithful? I would argue its a more direct and technical adapt8ion, 8ut the screen play for the original movie was written ( and I want to say directed?) 8y the 8ook author. The things he changed were changed to convey the same intentions with the tech they had access to and to account for the differences in telling a story in a movie vs a 8ook.

One thing, if the chocolate is not tempered, it is liquid at much lower temperatures. I often make chocolate and I temper it by adding grated chocolate when it gets down to 36°C, and at that point it is definitely still liquid before the grated chocolate melts, mixes in and tempers it.

[@Crow_Smith]

Yeah I was thinking this too. Yes, probably to get it to flow at the amount that would be a good river or a good water fall it'd have to be MUCH hotter ... but chocolate bars literally melt in your hands ... so clearly it wouldn't need to be that hot. In fact leave one in your pocket and you pretty much have a chocolate caprisun in your pocket.

[@Sakine-animate]

I was initially going to comment something like this since I work at a chocolate factory, but then I took into consideration the surface area. While it can melt at lower temperatures, it will also begin to cool faster with the surface being exposed to the cool air. In order to keep it liquid, it needs to be hot enough that the air won’t effect it.

It actually is genius to use a waterfall, though. Either as a cover for the actual method done or with a special secret process after to deal with the air trapped in the chocolate from the waterfall frothing. Either way, it keeps the parents and their kids (particularly the ones with the wealth to start off for such a factory to be built) from copying the chocolate making process as competition.

[@sofiadragon6520]

Yes and no. While the chocolate would need to be very hot to mix, it would cool down a lot as it flowed thanks to all the aeration unless there is some kind of heating element under there. [Which, yikes.] I work with chocolate between 85°F and 95°F, though it gets to that temperature after tempering when I'm doing it. It still flows quite well at that temperature- especially if not properly tempered. So the chocolate further away from the waterfall could be as low as 90 without risking it seizing on contact with cool surfaces. Though, if you want the air out again, you'd absolutely want it on the hotter, runnier side. Even then, you don't burn immediately and could get several handfuls before it went from "this is quite warm" to "it burns!"

[@firetoacat]

[@LunaWitcherArt]

My only issue with food packaging is that it's very hard to make something waterproof that is not plastic at all. Even paper cups and milk cartons have internal plastic linings that you usually can't separate to recicle (if you can even recicle, that is, with the current crisis after China stopped receiving international trash to recicle). If they could synthesize something from like, citrus fruits that could be digested or at least could be broken down by the environment much faster, that would be ideal. I mention citrus fruits because they have clusters of liquid pouches protected by at least one membrane in the smaller levels, and if undisturbed, they are basically waterproof.

The spoon could be eaten, thrown or buried and it would degrade in a few weeks rather than the thousands of years that plastic takes. As for costs, the edible spoons were cheaper than plastic spoons.

The history of chocolate shows that it was originally a liquid manufactured for drinking, usually hot but could be drunk cold, it wasn't made into bars until a (I believe Cadbury) employee left a churning machine filled with chocolate on overnight.

What I like about the Johnny Depp version is how much more of a fantasy world the chocolate factory is. I gotta admit that I've never seen the original version as a kid, but whenever I see scenes from that movie, the chocolate factory just makes me kinda sad.

Wonka only mixed his chocolate by waterfall; there may have been other processes later to remove the air bubbles for all we know. Also, on the subject of temperature, it's really easy to make chocolate a liquid at room temperature, and to make it runny at high-but-still-safe temperatures. One such way is coconut oil, which is a great way to make that chocolate "crack" that you sometimes see on ice cream; it's a smooth liquid until you freeze it.

[@sebay4654]

For example if we consider the extraction tubes to be creating a vacuum that could theoretically remove the air added by the waterfall process/otherwise lower the air content by such a degree that the air bubbles aren't even noticeable or provide a unique lightness that makes Wonka chocolate, Wonka chocolate

[@nehpets216]

@@sebay4654 The Vacuum tube is a great explanation and if you add a slope ramp on the other side that vibrates you would get a bubble free product (I'm Imagining a slope that pours into molds that run on a conveyor. The Slope would have the heating / cooling elements needed to get the product to the correct temp to settle in the mold and would negate the temp differences that the open air river would cause.)

[@joshsolders5543]

The waterfall could actually be good in the end as long as the chocolate is flat at the end. Since the waterfall is an earlier stage production area, it wouldn't be difficult for them to compensate later in the production cycle to get out the air. For comparison to the home choco example, the waterfall would be whisk to mix the chocolate, not the mold.

[@rainbowrarity4777]

[@Turtletoadinator]

[@LocalMaple]

“Air bubbles are not wanted in candy.” Maybe that’s why it’s a river, the length and movement dilutes or removes the air bubbles. We also don’t see what happens to the chocolate downriver, or up the pipe.

[@MrEscape314]

I was thinking the same thing. It's not like it went straight from waterfall into a chocolate mold. It's in a meandering slow river then followed by off scene processing. Hard to imagine the air would stay suspended in the chocolate right after Matt just told us how much denser liquid chocolate is than water. It'll bubble out of the river.

[@donovanloreman]

I agree.

[@angelicasimmons6858]

@@MrEscape314 The more viscous a fluid, the more dissolved gases it can hold onto. That being said, we also have to consider at what stage in the chocolate making process the chocolate is in in that river. It could be at the cocoa liquor stage, which would require more agitation than the conching stage (where you basically mix the cocoa mass with heat to make chocolate) to create cocoa mass and would be more liquidy at room temperature. Which makes more sense as you would still have lots of cocoa butter in the mix at a certain stage, and making it 'frothy' can help remove more of the cocoa butter by causing the fatter butter to 'rise' to the top. Distributing cocoa liquor for further processing about the factory to make various different chocolates and chocolatey treats from the cocoa liquor before it was fully separated into cocoa mass and cocoa butter would also make sense, as there are slightly different processes required for whatever you're trying to make.

I have a question though, sure he's mixing it via waterfall in that process but it's then being pumped via suction to the fudge room. One way of making fudge would have you mixing your chocolate with a hot sugar syrup so as to create a fine crystalline formation inside the chocolate. Now while aerated chocolate would be terrible for bars, it could make the process of integrating the chocolate with the sugar syrup easier. What I want to know is when Wonka says 'mixing' does he mean literally mixing as in getting all of the separate ingredients that goes into milk chocolate into some stable solution or does he mean something else? After all, this is a movie and liberties could be taken. There are a lot of different things you can do with chocolate that a layman, like some random parent who isn't a confectioner, would call mixing like conching and tempering. If we were to take what Wonka says at face value, could he be using the rocks behind and under the waterfall to conch his chocolate? Or maybe he's using the that aeration process to cool the chocolate to a degree and maintain its temper? I think this deserves a follow-up video because ever since I was a kid this scene has FASCINATED me and deserves the full attack.

There is a flaw in their conclusion on the chocolate waterfall. At 8:52 he says if we want a waterfall like the one we see in the movie. The flaw is that the one we see in the movie is what the waterfall would look like as chocolate water and not liquid chocolate. It's flow rate and how it mixes the chocolate is then being assumed off incorrect data. They should have looked into what the optimal flow rate that would be needed for mixing chocolate in this manner. Without having this data all we are left with is that the waterfall flow rate is being based off a video of the waterfall that is from a movie from the late 60's/early 70's where they were definitely not trying to be as close to realistic and just needed to make it be close enough for their chocolate waterfall. And then that is being used as the basis for how we are expecting the chocolate waterfall to be mixed.

[@TheStellaGaming]

Another reason why Wonka's factory wouldn't need to produce as much chocolate as Hershey's is because while Wonka DOES specialize in chocolate, his company also produces a lot of other popular candies that are not chocolate related, while you will struggle to find a popular Hershey's product that doesn't contain chocolate other than maybe twizzlers, jolly ranchers, and a couple different kinds of gum. That just solidifies the fact that the amount of chocolate that Wonka's factory produces is *definitely* enough to meet current demands. Good job to whatever scriptwriter wrote the amount of chocolate he makes. It may have not been intentional, but you were fairly accurate.

[@KittenLove536]

2:00 My first thought was not necessarily because if you leave a hershey bar in your car then open it to lick the wrapper you dont get burned. it's 100% a weirder taste with the different texture, but also you can melt a chocolate bar by just holding it to long. But, if you melt chips in a double boiler you *will* be burned. Guess it just depends on how it's melted and what temperature it's maintained at.

Ok Matt Patt I need a film theory proving which chocolate factory movie is better. As someone who has read the book, the jonnhy depp versions is a lot more accurate, there are a lot of scenes in the originl movie that either don't make sense or completely changed the way the characters are portraited. The main one being charlie and his grandpa drinking that fuzzy drink that makes them float, which there isn't any of that in the books, and the whole secret recipe that that weird guy was trying to get, that wasn't in the book either. The whole reason Wonka choses charlie is beause he was the only one that obeys the rules, "Don't drink from the chocolate river", "Don't eat the gum that is still in testing" "Don't touch the squirrels" "Don't go to the television transporter", making charlie also desobey one of his rules, completely ruins the character.

[@SpeedyCheetahCub]

THE 2005 VERSION DID NOT USE ONLY CGI CHOCOLATE!!! Seriously!!! I would have expected MatPat to do enough research to know that most of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie was not CGI, as Tim Burton wanted something real for child actors to interact with. Sure, some of the chocolate was CGI, such as when Augustus Gloop was sucked into the tube, but there was a real chocolate waterfall on set. In fact, they actually build that entire room exactly as it looks. The chocolate was made of a mix of water, real chocolate, brown paint, and some thickening liquid to make it look more like chocolate. The room was so realistic that the actors had to constantly ask the set designers which things were safe to eat, because it was made with a mix of real candy and inedible materials. They even had a small patch of candy grass for Augustus to eat at on point. Also, the inventing room was made by the set designers going to a junkyard and getting random futuristic-looking stuff and then cobbling it together so it looked cool. The squirrel room scenes were filmed with a mix of CGI squirrels, animatronic squirrels, and 40 real life squirrels that were trained over the course of at least 6 months to grab and crack the nuts, and to run over and tackle the stunt double who was playing Veruca. The puppet show at the entrance of the factory was a real construction. Half of the puppets were made of flammable/meltable material (I don't remember if they used actual candy or not), and after 2 weeks of filming with that thing the crew was excited to destroy it since the song was so annoying. While it was not made of real candy, the candy boat was an actual boat that was attached to a rig so it could be moved around. Tim would move a tiny model boat that would control the actual one, and the river around the actors was added later.
