Just wondering if Willy Wonka's factory was powered by electricity or magic?

Right...I forgot about the little orange guys. The factory runs off of the crushed hopes and dreams or enslaved oompa-loompas.

60,000 Oompa Loompas can't be wrong, right? Is Charlie Bucket the nonprofit? Who is Slugworth?

Re: Tesla Vs. Willy Wonka
Why is it that 60, 000 Oompa Loompas are willing to work indoors, 24 hours a day, year round, taking orders from some crazy antisocial dude in a purple suit. Half of the factory is probably a meth lab.....Think about it. Most of the factory is off limits durin the tour and you can tell Ol' Willy is dipping into his private stash.

Crossing the 8th dimension through the side of a mountain and saving the world seem to be so much more fun.
Add a flux capcitor and Banzai would have been set.
