“Oompanheimer”: Internet Gets To Memeing After Willy Wonka Experience In Glasgow Goes Viral
Most of us have probably been in a slump lately and in need of some good, uplifting news. So Glasgow said: “Hold my jelly beans.” The immersive Willy Wonka Experience that went viral last week has been an excellent source of entertainment for people across all social media platforms. And while it wasn’t so fun for the actors involved or the people who bought tickets for $40, the level of absurdity kind of does make one chuckle nonetheless.
For those unaware, we’re talking about the Willy Wonka “immersive experience” (the event even has its own Wikipedia page!). It’s the scam that involved an AI-generated script, a partially decorated warehouse, half cups of lemonade and single jelly beans for the kids, the sad Oompa Loompa, and the unforgettable character “The Unknown,” who supposedly even has its own horror movie coming out in 2024.

But what should have been a magical experience turned out to be a sad, partially decorated warehouse

This TikTok sums up the fiasco pretty well

Nobody was expecting Hugh Grant or Timothée Chalamet to show up, but the Walmart versions of the characters still left people disappointed
