00:00 An event claiming to be a children's Willy Wonka experience is going viral for how much
00:04 of a disaster it turned out to be.
00:07 Residents of Glasgow and beyond were intrigued when colorful advertisements for a Willy Wonka's
00:12 Chocolate Factory experience began popping up.
00:15 Many bought tickets after seeing that the event promised live performances from Oompa
00:18 Loompas, a chocolate fountain, and a "visual feast" in every room.
00:23 In reality, families pulled up to a nearly empty warehouse where instead of a chocolate
00:28 fountain, children received a handful of jelly beans and a cup of lemonade.
00:32 The event organizer, House of Illuminati, allegedly used AI to create promotional images
00:36 that did not actually reflect what the event looked like.
00:40 Now, the actor hired to play Willy Wonka at the event is speaking out, saying that there
00:44 were a few red flags from the beginning.
00:46 "So the first red flag for me was when I was cast as Willy Wonka.
00:51 Anyone who looks at me and thinks Willy Wonka and not Oompa Loompa is out of their mind.
00:56 The script was 15 pages, monologue, pretty much, of AI-generated gibberish.
01:05 We were told on the experience to hand out a jelly bean, one jelly bean per child, and
01:15 a quarter of a cup of Tesco's own brand lemonade.
