Match the children who visited the factory to their grisly, confectionery fates
Here’s a little brainteaser for Easter. Five children won Golden Tickets to visit Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But can you match the child to their fate in the plot? Scroll down for the solution.
1 Augustus Gloop
2. Verruca Salt
3. Mike Teavee
4. Violet Beauregarde
5. Charlie Bucket
a) Becomes a giant blueberry
b) Inherits the factory
c) Is declared to be a ‘bad nut’ by the squirrels in the nut room and thrown down a rubbish chute
d) Falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up the pipe into the fudge room’s mixing machine
e) Is shrunk by a miniaturisation machine and then stretched back in the gum stretching room, but leaves the factory 10 feet tall.
In our April issue, our Outing feature is all about chocolate. While you sadly can’t visit Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory yourself, you can visit the Cadbury factory (pictured above) that inspired Dahl. Just don’t go drinking from the chocolate river.
