Turns out that one of the quoted moments in the beloved Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory is the sequence where the maniacal candymaker shows off his newest invention:
Lickable wallpaper
As the kids and their caretakers lick it up and down, Wonka says:
“Lick an orange. It tastes like an orange. The strawberries taste like strawberries! The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!“
What’s a snozzberry? The author of the book, Roald Dahl, obviously made up the word. What are they?
They’re dicks.
That perv Willy Wonka made those kids lick dick-flavored wallpaper and then joked about it… who would have thunk this crazy, murdering recluse had such a fucked up sense of humor. According to Cracked,
“In 1979, Dahl decided to revisit snozzberries in his adult novel My Uncle Oswald. The equally witty and disgusting story revolves around Oswald Hendryks Cornelius, the titular uncle and
‘greatest fornicator of all time.’
Along with his sexy accomplice Yasmin Howcomely, he devises a complicated get-rich-quick scheme that involves Howcomely seducing Europe’s most famous men and then selling used condoms full of their spent semen to women wishing to birth famous progeny. Please take some time to remind yourself that this book was written by one of the world’s most beloved children’s authors.
The term “snozzberry” comes up when Yasmin Howcomely recounts her experience with George Bernard Shaw.
‘How did you manage to roll the old rubbery thing on him?‘
‘There’s only one way when they get violent,’
Yasmin said.
‘I grabbed hold of his snozzberry and hung onto it like grim death and gave it a twist or two to make him hold still.’
‘Ow.’
‘Very effective.’
‘I’ll bet it is.’
‘You can lead them around anywhere you want like that.’
‘I’m sure.’
‘It’s like putting a twitch on a horse.'”
Willy Wonka is such a perv making these kids dick lickers.
