Remember the moment when Gene Wilder opened the doors to the enchanting Chocolate Room in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Did you also dream of indulging in chocolate-covered toadstools during your childhood? While we can currently get our hands on Wonka Bars, Scrumdidilyumptious bars, and Everlasting Gobstoppers (which, let’s be honest, aren’t truly everlasting), there are still many whimsical treats from the movie that remain just a sweet fantasy. Like Veruca Salt, we want these delights now!
As we reminisce about the unforgettable Wilder as Wonka and belt out songs like “The Candy Man” (even the slower “Cheer Up Charlie” that I’d fast-forward through), I can’t help but wish my kids knew every lyric, too. Imagine if Nestlé set up a Wonka factory next to Harry Potter’s Wizarding World, considering they own the brand! Why hasn’t that happened yet? I’m eagerly awaiting the chocolate river experience that made Grandpa Joe spring back to life after years of being bedridden. Clearly, chocolate has magical healing powers!
For now, here’s our wish list of delectable treats from the film that we hope to see in stores one day:
- Edible Tulip Teacups
As the song goes, “You can even eat the dishes!” This innovative and eco-friendly idea would save us from dish duty. Edible soup bowls? Yes, please! - Exploding Candy for Your Rivals
Before glitter bombs became a thing, Mike Spangler enjoyed candy that blasted him across the Inventing Room. Who wouldn’t want to unleash some sweet revenge with a treat like this? - Rainbow Drops
Wonka’s Rainbow Drops allowed for spitting in seven vibrant colors. My boys would absolutely love colorful spitball fights! Come on, Wonka, bring these to life! - Three-Course-Dinner Gum
This infamous gum turned Violet into a giant blueberry after sampling a full meal. The closest we have now is Extra Dessert Delights gum, but it doesn’t come with any surprising transformations. Imagine if we could chew on fried chicken gum and trick kids into thinking they’ve eaten! - Lickable Wallpaper
Why not combine decorating and snacking? “Go lick the walls before school!” could be my new morning mantra. Sure, it sounds a bit germy, but it’s a time-saver, right? - Fizzy Lifting Drink
The drink that sent Charlie and Grandpa Joe floating into a bubble-filled room could be a party favorite! Just imagine a bubbly drink that lifts you off your feet (with a bit of caution around ceiling fans, of course). - Double Bubble Burp-a-Cola
This fizzy drink was used by the Oompa Loompas to fuel their Wonkamobile. How fun would it be to sip something that not only quenches your thirst but also sounds ridiculously fun to say? - Wonka Vision
Why can’t we transmit chocolate through our TVs yet? Instead of focusing on drones, Amazon should be working on this chocolate-transporting technology. Just imagine a remote-control chocolate delivery!
Since the film debuted in 1971, it’s high time these delightful treats become a reality. The Candy Man bakes everything to perfection and fills it with love. We’re still waiting, Wonka!
