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.

It’s the scam that involved an AI-generated script, a partially decorated warehouse, half cups of lemonade and two 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.
