You should keep singing.
2015-05-17 01:06:22 +0000 UTCIf you have a look at this Cracked article: <a href="http://www.cracked.com/funny-8462-willy-wonka/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cracked.com/funny-8462-willy-wonka/</a> you will it claimed that the 1971 film was made to sell chocolate. It makes me wonder if any of the material Mel Stuart (or for that matter Roald Dahl) inserted into this version was influenced by the Quaker Oats connection? Also, how can I not love the claim that the movie made money but the chocolate bar it was meant to sell didn't? (See previous comment about being a bad person.)
