If you’ve ever read Roald Dahl ’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , you must surely have dreamed of tearing back the silver foil from your favourite chocolate bar and winning a golden ticket. But on your tour of Willy Wonka’s factory, which of the physics-defying edible delights would you be most excited to witness? Would it be the everlasting gobstoppers that never get smaller no matter how long you suck them (surely a violation of energy conservation)?
