WONKA Quotes on Inventions
- “Here. Put these on quick, and don’t take them off whatever you do. This light could burn your eyeballs right out of your skulls. And we certainly don’t want that, now, do we? This is the testing room for my very latest and greatest invention: Television Chocolate. One day it occurred to me: \”Hey, if television can break up a photograph into millions and millions of tiny pieces and send it whizzing through the air then reassemble it on the other end why can’t I do the same with chocolate? Why can’t I send a real bar of chocolate through the television, ready to be eaten?\””
