Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl.
The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.
" Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964 and in the United Kingdom by George Allen& Unwin, 11 months later.
The book has been adapted into two major motion pictures:" Willy Wonka& the Chocolate Factory" in 1971, and" Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in 2005.
The book's sequel," Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator", was written by Roald Dahl in 1971 and published in 1972.
Dahl had also planned to write a third book in the series but never finished it.
The story was originally inspired by Roald Dahl's experience of chocolate companies during his schooldays.
Cadbury would often send test packages to the schoolchildren in exchange for their opinions on the new products.
At that time( around the 1920s), Cadbury and Rowntree's were England's two largest chocolate makers and they each often tried to steal trade secrets by sending spies, posing as employees, into the other's factory.
Because of this, both companies became highly protective of their chocolate- making processes.
It was a combination of this secrecy and the elaborate, often gigantic, machines in the factory that inspired Dahl to write the story.
Wonka Bar
The Wonka Bar is both a fictional chocolate bar, introduced as a key story point in the 1964 novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl, and a staple food bar inspired by the fictional confection.
Sugar Bars appear in both film adaptations of the novel, "Willy & the Chocolate Factory" (and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005), and the play "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical" (2013) each with different packaging.
Varieties of Wonka Bars were subsequently manufactured and sold in the real world, formerly by the Willy Wonka Candy Company, a division of Nestlé.
These bars were discontinued in January 2010 due to poor sales.
