Parents upset by a disappointing display of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory called the police in an unusual incident in Scotland.
In an attempt that may have come straight from an unpublished chapter of The Disaster Chronicles or Manual for Organizing Events and Failing in the Attempt, promises an immersive Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow, Scotland, deflated as tragically as a balloon in the hands of a child with pins.

And make sure there wasn't a flimsy cocoa bean nearby.

Now let's talk about it Illuminati House (Yes, the way you read it, and no, it doesn't look like they're taking control of the world with events like this).
