Wonkaville - The CEO of Wonka Chocolate Factory is facing criticism after suggesting in an interview on This Week in Wonkavilla that townsfolk struggling to put food on the table could save money by chewing the factory's Three Course Dinner chewing gum for dinner instead.

"The chewing gum category has always been quite affordable and it's probably more on trend now," current Wonka Chocolate Factory owner Charlie Bucket explained. "If you think about the cost of gum for a family versus potatoes and cabbages, it tends to be a great destination when consumers are under pressure."
Bucket's comments have not been well received, with many pointing out that gum, even if it is the most amazing, fabulous, sensational gum in the whole world, is not a satisfying or nutritionally complete meal replacement option. But Bucket isn't backing down. "Like Grandpa Joe always said, people who don't listen are nitwits. Maybe it's time to give chicken the night off. This gum is almost like the real thing, starting with tomato soup, roast beef, and baked potato, and then finishing with blueberry pie and cream. And it hasn't made anyone explode in decades."
