On the day of the tour, Wonka greets the winners and the adults accompanying them at the factory gates and leads them through the compound. Grandpa Joe, who accompanies Charlie, introduces himself to Wonka as a former employee, but Wonka is still suspicious of him. One by one, all of the children except Charlie succumb to temptations offered by Wonka and are removed from the tour. Wonka offers Charlie a chance to live and work with him in the factory, explaining that he is getting old, and that the purpose of the contest was to find a successor to take over as owner once he retires. However, Wonka expects Charlie to leave his family behind forever, seeing family as a hindrance to a chocolatier's creative freedom. Head, Steve (13 July 2005). "Interview: Johnny Depp". IGN.

Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka polarized critics and audiences. Critic Andrew Sarris, of the New York Observer, who did not enjoy the film's style in general, wrote "I wonder if even children will respond to the peculiarly humorless and charmless stylistic eccentricities of Mr. Burton and his star, Johnny Depp." [26] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post also criticized Depp's acting; "The cumulative effect isn't pretty. Nor is it kooky, funny, eccentric or even mildly interesting. Indeed, throughout his fey, simpering performance, Depp seems to be straining so hard for weirdness that the entire enterprise begins to feel like those excruciating occasions when your parents tried to be hip." [27] Roger Ebert wrote "Depp, an actor of considerable gifts, has never been afraid to take a chance, but this time he takes the wrong one. His Willy Wonka is an enigma in an otherwise mostly delightful movie from Tim Burton." [28] Johnny Depp based Willy Wonka on a 'stoned George W. Bush' - NME". NME. 10 May 2012 .

After five years at the top of the best non-chocolate candy lists, the Willy Wonka Candy Factory was acquired by Nestle and continues to this day to produce such classics as Fun Dip, Gobstoppers, Runts and Laffy Taffy, as well as the perennially popular Nerds, the wide range of tangy sweets that come in such vivid colours.Just barely edging out Pixy Stix is the equally deplorable Everlasting Gobstopper. Based on the candy concoction from the story of Willy Wonka, Everlasting Gobstoppers find their appeal in layers of flavor and color that reveal a cherry center. Greg Dean Schmitz.
