00:00 So, is it Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory or a meth lab?
00:03 That's the big question the internet is asking after a Wonka-themed immersive experience
00:08 left customers pretty disappointed.
00:11 A UK event company put together an immersive experience titled "Willy's Chocolate Experience"
00:16 that promised to transport Willy Wonka fans into a magical realm.
00:19 The attraction was not affiliated with the Warner Bros. movie Wonka, though the event's
00:23 marketing came as close as possible to suggesting it was based off it.
00:27 But the whole thing turned out to be such an epic letdown.
00:30 According to The Guardian, customers who queued up found a sparsely decorated warehouse with
00:35 a scattering of plastic props, a small bouncy castle, and some backdrops pinned against
00:40 the walls.
00:41 It was so bad, children were in tears, and some customers even called the cops.
00:45 Photos from the event went viral online comparing what was promised to what was delivered.
00:51 One user even compared the event to "running a meth lab."
00:54 The Guardian added that the event organizers refunded tickets, which were $44 a pop, and
00:59 apologized for "the very stressful and frustrating day."
