Universal’s Chocolate Factory & Savory Feast Emporium: Guess They Couldn’t Get the Wonka License

Growing up, the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory rather creeped me out. The little Oompah Loompas did it. The thought that eating the wrong gum could swell you into a blueberry didn’t help either. I did quite want the soft drinks that made you fly though.

The dessert I want most is Bacon Brittle shake with bacon ice cream, bacon brittle, chocolate covered bacon and bacon caramel. Just look at the picture of the shakes and tell me you don’t want one right now.
