Willy Wonka's Golden Tickets

Origin
Willy Wonka is one of the main characters in Roald Dahl’s ‘’Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’’. Depicted as an odd eccentric sort of fellow, he owns one of the best candy factories in the world. After years of closure, he reopens with a tour to five lucky children who found a golden ticket in his candy bars. There, he shows them his fantastical marvels and inventions until only poor Charlie Bucket remains. Wonka decides he has found a suitable heir to his factory and secrets and passes them onto Charlie. The book has been adapted into films in both 1971 and 2005. Wonka was first played by Gene Wilder and then Johnny Depp in the remake.

Effects
Turns any object into a new type of candy. Some of them are perfectly delectable, while many are just plain odd and taste disgusting. A few have been harmful, whether it be the exploding jawbreakers, flaming candy corn or breath-stopping bubble gum.

Collection
The first three tickets were discovered in the summer of ’83, where a group of kids were found using them at a movie marathon. Suffice to say, E.T. went marshmallow and hallucinatory, Tron became sour orange vertigo malts and Sylvester Stallone turned out flavored like crushed pop rocks, cinnamon and grass that caused puffiness. And seizures. Go figure. The remaining two were located in a Bavarian candy store where they were proudly displayed. That is, at least until a building inspector was accidentally turned into melting ice cream.

Agents thought the edible ordeals were over until a remake came out years later. Four tickets were grabbed from set, although the fifth could not prevent a crew member’s braking system turning into gummy worms and crashing into a post office.
