The Real Wonka Bar
In real life, Wonka Bars are chocolate candy bars inspired by the novel and the films Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The Quaker Oats Company, which financed the 1971 film with US$3 million, originally created a candy bar in time to publicize the 1971 film. In the documentary "Pure Imagination", producer David L. Wolper claims the bar was released to stores, but quickly recalled due to a production problem. The few people who purchased and ate one of those bars reported the production problem was that they tasted horrible.
Chocolate company BritishCandy, which sells Retro Sweets Hampers, also created Wonka Bar replicas that looked exactly like the ones in the 1971 film. However they were not real Wonka Bars, just 100g of unbranded milk chocolate and a printed golden ticket inside a replica Wonka Bar wrapper. They are still sold all around the world today.

“If love ... means that one person absorbs the other, then no real relationship exists any more. Love evaporates; there is nothing left to love. The integrity of self is gone.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“I am of course confident that I will fulfil my tasks as a writer in all circumstances—from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime. No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death. But may it be that repeated lessons will finally teach us not to stop the writer’s pen during his lifetime? At no time has this ennobled our history.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
