There is a terrible theory that would tell the true story of Willy Wonka, capable of sucking the sweetness out of your childhood.
According to several people on the Internet, this character is more disturbing than cute, since the whole contest of the golden tickets would be nothing more than a strategy to satisfy his greatest desire: to get rid of all the children.
In this way, he would choose some minors who could represent each one of his sins and vices.
The True Story of Willy Wonka
Let’s remember that in the movie, we are never really shown what happens to the children who get the golden ticket in the chocolate bars, but we are lucky that this theory would reveal it even tough is not pleasant at all.
The film “makes it up” by assuring that they are “accidents” due to its annoying behavior; however, they would have been planned by Willy Wonka himself, who more than a chocolatier, is a serial killer.
The true story of this character assures that Glood, the “gluttonous” boy would not have fallen into the river of chocolate by accident, in fact, he was pushed.
The “selfish” one was not attacked by the squirrels by mere coincidence, they would have chosen her as a “target”. In the case of Violet, the “impatient” one, she did not become a berry by mistake, she was intoxicated.
On the other hand, Mike, the “obsessive”, was not reduced in size by lightning due to his bad luck, but was irradiated.
While Charlie, although he was next on the list was saved. This decision was not by the generosity of Willy Wonka, he chose him to be his successor so he could, in a way, clear his conscience of the guilt left by these terrible crimes.
The story of Tonka Jahari, the man who would have inspired Willy Wonka
There is another version in which they point out that Willy Wonka is based on the story of Tonka Jahari, a successful and wealthy man in the early 20th century.
He had a chocolate factory in Philadelphia. He was known to be very stingy with money and used people of short stature because they were cheap labor.
He made several tours of his factory and during that time at least 200 tourists disappeared without anyone ever seeing them again. No one complained because of the great power and influence he had in that city.
One day, a group of four friends asked to take the tour in their factory during which they all felt a strange vibe in him, so they managed to push him into the chocolate waterfall as a joke, but it all went wrong.
The man sank to the bottom and they had to call the police. When they arrived, they realized that Tonka Jahari was already a frozen chocolate statue.
The doctors wanted to break the surface layer, but when they hit a little harder to get it, it ended up breaking into a thousand pieces.
The authorities returned to their factory to inspect. They were surprised, as they discovered that all the people who had disappeared had become ingredients to make their chocolate bars.
