wonka did something even more sinister than that. get them addicted to happy feelings which destroy them. imagine the health comlications late in life for the population had wonka got his hands on the tech for high fructose corn syrup. in his view, you don't cut them in half with a laser shark, you fatten them up, destroy their heart, dumb down their mind, pacify their will, and then watch the leftover adipose mass wriggling around for more goyslop to pump down the new food hole, while simultaneously using a yard sprinkler and their youngest child to wash their plap flaps in the backyard.
humiliation on top of suffering, all born from a craving for pleasure and happiness. the parents of the girl I dated in high school got stoned and watched the original when it came out. it was common knowledge at the time that "candy" was slang for drugs, and each of the ways of dying represented how each hard drug will addict and kill you. I don't recall which was which, but they were adamant about it when telling me.
