Check out Food Theory! ► https://bit.ly/3eSc5l6 Pizza is a SANDWICH?! ► https://youtu.be/TxhrZBO4jY0 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a gem in the history of movies. It stands out not just for the acting and the main story, but all of the things you can find hiding beneath the surface. It is a surprisingly ominous movie and the character of Willy Wonka is at the center of the horror. We've talked about Wonka using the Golden Tickets to pass off his OSHA violations onto the winner, but what if that was not the only trick he's trying to pull? What else is Willy Wonka up to?

Theory Pitch for Game theory: how durable are the Angry Birds
Not gonna lie, when I first saw the title I assumed it was going to point out that terrible things happened to all of the children except charlie, and Wonka, like a serial killer, actually hand selected his victims.
Now here's the question: What is the likelihood that every kid spoke ENGLISH.
If it truly was rigged to begin with, it makes Wonka even more of a business genius than Charlie's grandfather gave him credit for. Instead of inviting five predetermined kids to the tour, Wonka used the rumor of a random-chance event to rake in billions through sales and publicity.
MatPat is the embodiment of the “I don’t need sleep, I need answers! ” meme
Personal theory: Veruca Salt was the only kid who got her golden ticket 'legitimately'. She had the personal finances and manpower to basically just hit the slot machine infinitely and grind out the probability until she got one. Willy Wonka was almost immediately openly hostile to her, partly because she's the most unlikable brat on the planet, but also possibly because she forced her way into the factory while all the other kids were 'chosen'.
When you realize Wonka isn’t racist, he’s just ageist
Five children put in danger by a man in purple? Sounds eerily like a certain pizzeria with bear mascot, doesn't it?
Every child except for Charlie were chosen because they all had an aspect of their upbringing/family that would lend itself to running the factory. Veruca's father was a prominent business owner (management) and Veruca was able to get anything she wants out of the people around her. Augustus's father was a prominent butcher (international management) with international ties and Augustus was a food lover who would enjoy the food itself. Violet's father was a politician (business policies/regional politics/HR) so she could learn politics and Violet was a determined and competitive girl. Mike was a tv lover and would be great with marketing and technology. I imagine that different members of Wonka's team chose them because of these attributes while Wonka decided to give his choice to the candy shop owner. The candy shop owner chose Charlie because he could see Charlie staring from the window before work and when the last ticket was "found", Charlie bought chocolate not because of the prize, but because he genuinely wanted some and even thought of his grandpa. ...but that's just a theory
I have a suggestion: “Could Truman from the movie the Truman Show sue the producers of the show, if so, for how much?”
"The real question is why were all the winners children." .............I... I never.... realized........ My mind is blown MatPat. Never even thought about the fact "must be a child" was never in the rules.
I still love the Theory that Violet should've gotten the factory. Like that she has the initiative, finds keeping the oompa loompas a bit strange, is willing to try a product that hasn't had proper testing, etc. And other than her habit of chewing gum being considered rude [doesn't in the movies anyway have too much badness to her like some of the oother kids] - she was willing to give it up for the chance to win this showing she is willing to make personal sacrifices. And her dad was a business man so she has experience. I'd love to see a more in depth dive of that theory.
i honestly wanna know what matpat's google search looks like
Let’s not forget that gamer kid “cracked the code” to finding the golden tickets and got it on his first bar. Just figured I’d throw that in. 😉

Reply to this comment if barney the purple dinosaur is awesome
FYI to Charlie's teacher: his chance of winning a ticket was .002% 😂
If you were a teacher, you’d be more fun than this, people would be so excited when they entered your class!
Willy Wonka is like a good version of the Joker, pretending to be an agent of chaos watching people fall because of their own faults, when in reality he's planned the whole thing from the start
Pretty sure the "accidents" during Wonka's tour were planned out carefully too: 1. When the tour group rides in both the paddleboat and later on in the Wonkawash car, ALL SEATS ARE FULL. The "surprise exit" of each child & adult matches perfectly with the available seating in each vehicle. 2. The fact that at the end of the tour, only one child is left to inherit the factory.
