Remember the moment Gene Wilder unveiled the enchanting Chocolate Room in the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Did you ever dream of tasting colossal chocolate toadstools? While we can delight in a Wonka Bar or a Scrumdidilyumptious Bar, many of the imaginative confections from the film remain elusive. Much like the impatience of Veruca Salt, we yearn for them now.
While Johnny Depp portrayed Wonka with flair, Wilder’s iconic version captured our hearts with memorable songs, including the catchy “The Candy Man.” I want the next generation to cherish these lyrics too, which is why I revisit the original film with my children. It’s time for Nestlé, the brand’s owner, to bring us a real-life Wonka factory alongside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. A chocolate river, reminiscent of the film, would be the ultimate dream come true. After all, we witnessed Grandpa Joe’s miraculous recovery, proving that chocolate might just hold magical healing powers.
Here’s a list of delectable treats we wish would come to fruition, in the order they appeared in the movie:
- Edible Tulip Teacups
Inspired by “The Candy Man” lyrics, these delightful dishes are eco-friendly and perfect for those who wish to avoid dishwashing. Imagine soup served in an edible cup! - Exploding Candy for Rivals
Before glitter bombs became a thing, Mike Teevee experienced a candy explosion that sent him flying across the Inventing Room. This concept of revenge candy would surely find its market. - Rainbow Drops
Offered to Mike’s mother, these magical drops let users spit in vibrant colors. My two boys would undoubtedly love engaging in rainbow spitball battles. Please make this happen, Wonka! - Three-Course-Dinner Gum
Violet’s unfortunate transformation after chewing this gum remains legendary. While we have gum flavors inspired by desserts, none have the ability to morph the chewer into a giant blueberry. Imagine the potential of fried chicken-flavored gum to satisfy hungry children! - Lickable Wallpaper
A two-in-one solution for decorating and snacking! Just think of telling your kids, “Go lick the walls, and we’ll be on our way!” Although this could raise some hygiene concerns. - Fizzy Lifting Drink
Charlie and Grandpa Joe’s bubbly beverage allowed them to float in a room of fizzy bliss. Such a drink could add excitement to parties—perhaps a collaboration with a sparkling wine brand could bring it to life. - Double Bubble Burp-a-Cola
This refreshing drink powered the Oompa Loompas’ Wonkamobile. While you can fill your car with regular cola, imagine the fun of using a uniquely named beverage to quench your thirst! - Wonka Vision
Why haven’t we figured out how to beam chocolate through our televisions yet? With advancements in technology, this should be a priority over drones!
Since the film debuted in 1971, it’s high time we see these fantastical treats become a reality. The candy-making genius should not keep us waiting any longer.
