[[WMG: Wonka wanted TWO kids for his factory]]
Specifically, Charlie and Violet. He wanted them to co-own the factory, as they are the two most well behaved of the group. This is why he actively tries to get Violet to spit out the gum.

[[WMG: Snozzberries are juvenile [[Literature/TheBFG snozzcumbers]]]]
While they taste better than snozzcumbers, they also aren't big enough to sate a giant's hunger, even one as relatively small as the BFG.

[[WMG: In the book, Mr. Salt is American, but his wife Angina is British.]]
As noted elsewhere on this Wiki, even though the adaptations almost always portray the Salt family as British, Dahl most likely meant them to be American, because Mr. Salt calls his female employees "gals" and because salted peanuts are more of an American snack food than a British one. Yet Veruca calls her mother "Mummy," not "Mommy." Explanation? They're a mixed nationality family.

[[WMG: Most of Wonka's seeming omniscience with regards to the Bratty Kids is actually just educated guesswork and good planning.]]

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the kids most likely to find a golden ticket either have wealthy/indulgent parents that let them go through lots of candy in one day, are willing to cheat to win, or both - In other words, no matter who ends up winning, they're probably going to be mostly jerks. Wonka realized this and devised the factory's various [[SecretTestOfCharacter Secret Tests of Character]] around vague archetypes based on the kind of kids he guessed would be likely to find a ticket, like "glutton who eats way too much chocolate" and "SpoiledBrat with rich parents who rigged the contest for them", then adapted the tour to the ones who ended up showing up. There's no room or CrowdSong tailored to Charlie because he's a genuine outlier who just got lucky, so Wonka's plans didn't account for him.

* Though the way Wonka backed away and hide during her transformation would suggest otherwise.
