Willy Wonka began as a candy-bar commercial
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Forget the whimsical magic of Roald Dahl's imagination; this classic film was a glorified, feature-length commercial.

The movie title was even changed from the book's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' solely for brand synergy. Capitalism truly is the golden ticket.
