It's safe to say that Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow did not go down well but it's now inspired hundreds of memes.
If you've been anywhere near the internet lately, you've likely heard about Willy’s Chocolate Experience in Glasgow. Inspired by Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the event sought to bring the book to life. The tagline on the official site reads: "Dive into the whimsical of Willy's Chocolate Experience!, a place where chocolate dreams become reality."
The website also features a series of AI images promising an Enchanted Garden, an Imagination Lab, a Twilight Tunnel and Captivating Live Entertainment all for the cost of £35 a ticket. However, photos and videos from the event have now gone viral with parents requesting refunds after their kids were left screaming, crying and generally unimpressed.
The actors at the event have also now spoken out about the event and the internet is in a shambles over the whole ordeal.

Paul Connell, who played Willy Wonka at the event took to TikTok on Tuesday (Feb 27) to criticise the event organisers. Paul explained: "My heart sank looking around. I just felt sad because I was aware of how many kids were going to be coming through. We were told to hand the kids a couple of jelly beans and a quarter cup of lemonade at the end."
Meanwhile, Kirsty Paterson, who played an Oompa Loompa at the event, told Vulture that the kids and parents at the event were visibly disappointed. She said: "They were quite upset. I think they were confused. But it was more the parents. I just looked at them, and I think they must have known when they looked at me."

Of course, the internet has found a way to make light of the situation. Here are just a few of the funniest memes so far.
The vibes in general were just not good.
Cheap props, scary costumes, only three jelly beans per child....
The Simpsons did it again🫣🫢 pic.twitter.com/F1g8mBUAM5

People can't stop talking about The Unknown.
As well as Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompa, the event had a character called The Unknown that left kids in tears.

The Oompa Loompa from the knock off Wonka land experience looks like she’s running a literal meth lab and is seriously questioning the life choices up until this point. If you scripted this, I would say it was too on the nose pic.twitter.com/WwkGO8Hjck

Children weren't even allowed a full cup of lemonade.
Please sir, can I have some more!
More and more photos and footage are being shared of the Wonka experience in Glasgow and it’s making me howl louder every time. Not even a full cup of lemonade. pic.twitter.com/nwc9yd9vWT

It's actually not too different to the book and movies.
Only Charlie came out of the factory with a positive experience.
To be fair, historically most children on a Willy Wonka tour end up dead, so seeing an underwhelming backdrop for £35 is actually a positive outcome

I don’t think people are allowed to complain about a Wonka Experience that sold itself as a day of magical whimsy then delivered uncanny horror beyond comprehension

(like a movie based on this story, not the actual thing. Actually, no, either is fine) https://t.co/xqN7bM9upN
In conclusion...
I think we all want tickets to the Willy Wonka Experience.
the funniest part of the willy wonka thing is that if it reopened this weekend it’d sell more tickets than it ever did
