In this version, unlike the book, all five kids break the rules at some point. Charlie does so by drinking the fizzy lifting drinks. It nay have been Grandpa Joe’s idea (fuck Grandpa Joe) but Charlie went along with it. Charlie redeems himself in the end by giving back the gobstopper but fuck that shit because the other kids were never even given the opportunity to redeem themselves. Mike Teevee stayed out of trouble the longest and therefore should have won.


How did Mike Teevee fuck up again?
Also DYK food manufacturing was very secretive at the time. Doubly so for things like candy bars where your specialty was your really the entire product. Such was the basis for Charlie and the chocolate factory.
