…actually, why not?
Describe your dream chocolate bar.
Boss: Go on.
Agent: They’re definitely watching, sir.
Boss: Quite so. Get Hayfield, Simons, and Bashar on this. We’ll need the whole crew.
Agent: Yes, sir. Codename?
Boss: Pondicherry.

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
Again, too many to count, but let’s go with Charlie and The Misanthrope’s Chocolate Factory.
From Prince Pondicherry to 4 Grandparents in 1 bed, Little Me had a tremendous amount of questions while reading. Also, those chocolates, candies, and sweets sounded amazing. Finally, no way the Oompa Loompas never figured out another diet on their own (always bothered me).
Then there were The Chocolate Trials:
At first it was enormously satisfying to watch spoilt brats and bullies have the day they deserved. The Oompa Loompas DGAF and Willy Wonka was a revelation: An adult who stood firm in the face of irate parents? Amazing.
After multiple re-reads, though, the terrible children’s “just deserts” stopped being so perfectly just, given how their parents were horrible already and really weren’t being, y’know, parents. Especially in comparison to Charlie’s family, who clearly cared for Little Bucket.
Eye-opening for a kid.
