Here’s A Random, Funny, And Terrible Thing In “Willy Wonka” That You Can Never Unsee
Who can take a sunrise...and hit you in the face?
As everyone knows, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is not only a great movie, but also an iconic staple of most people's childhoods.

In fact, I'm willing to bet you've seen the movie enough times that you could easily sing along to one or two or ALL of the songs, right?
I mean, who HASN'T wanted to quench their post-song thirst with some tea/nectar/candy water and an edible tulip cup?!
Paramount Pictures
And try lickable wallpaper and fizzy lifting drink, and, you know, OWN YOUR OWN FUCKING MAGICAL CANDY FACTORY!!!
But, there's one kinda fucked up thing (besides, you know, almost killing children) in the movie you may have never noticed.
Paramount Pictures
And it's a doozy.
Okay. So, during the "Candy Man" song we meet candy shop owner Bill, who sings about sunrises and rainbows.

And also tosses out candy like it's freakin' Mardi Gras.
But then, near the end of his song, THIS happens:
Paramount Pictures
Did you see that?
YEAH. HE LITERALLY CLOCKS A GIRL IN THE FACE WITH THE COUNTER.
Paramount Pictures
But he doesn't even notice! Or maybe he does, IDK — the show must go on!?!?!
I KNOW, I KNOW. I shouldn't laugh, but also that girl was so close to the counter because she's all, "LET ME GET AT THAT CANDY!!!"
Paramount Pictures
And, like, I get it because...SAME?
I mean, let's be real, getting your hands on a brand new Scrumdiddlyumptious bar would 100% be worth it.

I know I'd happily take a formica love tap to the chin for the chance.
