It required the Jaws of Life to pry news of John Edwards’ affair out the mainstream press. But when it came to the personal drama of Palin’s 17-year old daughter, the press clawed for morsels like they were golden tickets from Wonka Bars.
altho I don't know what a Wonka bar is.
lol, in the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (and the book “The Great Glass Elevator”), the main character, Charlie, won a contest by the (Willie) Wonka Candy Co. You won by finding one of five “golden tickets” that were wrapped in with the chocolate Wonka bars. :)
A wonka bar was from the children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”
It was a great candy bar that all the kids wanted. Mr. Wonka put golden tickets in a few bars for a special tour of the factory.
Why do I suddenly feel old here?
“altho I don’t know what a Wonka bar is.”
And here I was just thinking how deeply this had embedded our culture so most everyone would get this. ;)
Time to go off and find out what an Oompa Loompa is, too. :) Go watch the old “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.” Not the new-fangled one with Johnny Depp. Go for the original.
