I can’t recall with the new one, but the old version; Charlie, Gpa Joe, and Williy Wonka could see the other (umm… modified?) kids leaving the factory with their parents during the glass elevator ride once they bust out through a skylight.
That was the scene I was thinking of and playing the old version now; the elevator ride once it leaves through the roof is just a few remarks about the surroundings like ‘look grandpa there’s my school’, and Wonka telling Charlie he’s giving him the factory. Roll credits, no info on the other kids.
They were changed from African pygmies in later versions of the book. You can still find early copies which describe them explicitly as such:
Willy Wonka tamped down speculation that he made them of chocolate. “They are real people! They are some of my workers!” He advised the group that these tiny black people had been “Imported direct from Africa!” They belonged to “a tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as Oompa-Loompas. I discovered them myself. I brought them over from Africa myself—the whole tribe of them, three thousand in all. I found them in the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had ever been before.
not real haha. Aside from “luck be in the air tonight” not being a phrase I’ve ever heard anyone say in any context, it doesn’t make sense as the solution because the “i” in “in” and also “tonight” is already revealed yet it isn’t for the word “air” (must admit I didn’t notice this, until I saw it pointed out).
What are you talking about? The ‘i’ in both ‘air’ and ‘tonight’ is not revealed. Just like it’s still hidden in ‘air’. Or am I misunderstood something…?
EDIT: Ah, you’re referring to the Snopes article you linked. I get it, but the rest of us are just commenting on the post and image here.
Oh snap haha. Yeh I’m a dumbass. Nevertheless, it is definitely fake, which is something you can really determine just from context given the relative unlikelyness of this being missed and the fact that, “luck be in the air tonight” is not a phrase, but it’s good to know that this even exists in multiple forms out there meaning it’s definitely been manipulted.
If you follow their link, you’ll see the original had the issue they describe. The one posted here seems to have been (further) photoshopped to solve the issue of the original.
It’s a portmanteau of the lyrics “Luck be a lady tonight” and “I can feel it calling in the air tonight” which is why it feels just familiar enough to seem real, but not actually.
This would be in the category “before and after” where the middle of the puzzle ends one saying and begins another. The solve would be “tuck me in” along with “in the air tonight”.
