* All the kids and parents had to go through all sort of traumatizing stuff but they all learn an exact lesson and are probably more stricter on their kids in a ForYourOwnGood way except one...Ms.Beauregard. When she and Violet comes out, she doesn't decide to indulge in her daughter anymore like the other parents, yes, but it feels different. Violet tries to look on the positive side and points how she's much more flexible than before and [[JerkassHasAPoint she's right]], she could try out for gymnastics. However, her mother shuts it down simply because Violet's blue now. The incident might have made Ms. Beauregard more stricter. But compared to the other parents, she seems to more likely to disregard Violet and maybe even treat her like a freak. Maybe becoming a blueberry might have taught Violet a lesson but seems to have backfired on her mother.

In the 2005 film adaptation, while Veruca's father has come out stricter, Augustus's mother also seems to have learned a lesson, telling him to stop eating his fingers.

In all seriousness, I've heard that the house vanishing may not be literal but symbolic. As in, Willy can't see the house when he ran away because he didn't want to go home, but when he comes to Wilbur at the end of the movie the only thing he sees is the house because he wants to go back to his old home.

* At one point in the book Wonka tells everyone about a product he is working on that makes your hair grow on your head and says that he is doing this for kids that are bald. Now this may seem like Wonka being Wonka until you realize that there are a lot of kids suffering cancer and one of the treatments is chemotherapy which involves making there hair fall off so Wonka has a good point making this.

A bit of fridge brilliance! Someone can fix the phrasing, but it's definitely a fridge entry.

* In this stage adaptation, Veruca is a Russian ballerina. In addition to the comedy and backstory this provides, it also adds an additional punny layer to her demise. As she dances alongside the nut-sorting squirrels before being attacked by them, making her a Russian ballerina allows her demise (dancing a group of "nut-crackers") to double as a reference to the Russian ballet "The Nutcracker", with her exit song being titled "Veruca's Nutcracker Sweet".

* Violet's long-term punishment seems to be having her most ignominious failure branded on her permanently via her blue skin. Unusually for a CompetitionFreak, Violet [[CursedWithAwesome doesn't mind]] and instead [[{{Unishment}} seems optimistic]] about the upsides that came along with it opening new avenues for her. That's because it's not her punishment, since Violet suffered enough in the factory and learned her lesson before she left, but her mother's. It's strongly implied in this adaptation that Mrs. Beauregarde isn't merely a bad, enabling parent like the others but an IceQueen StageMom who actively worked to make Violet the way she is. Violet's condition lets her keep doing what she enjoys while making it extremely difficult for her mother to keep exploiting her since she's no longer 'perfect.'

* Veruca being a bad nut might have led to her being dumped in the rubbish chute, but but being a good nut might have been worse, as the squirrels wouldn't throw her down...they may have cracked her head open for the "nut". Granted, a good nut probably wouldn't grab the squirrels anyway, but the thought is still disturbing.

*The book says that Charlie is "little" (the Oompa-Loompas are smaller than him). Since family doesn't eat (and can't afford) a lot other than bread and margarine (breakfast), cabbage and boiled potatoes (lunch), and cabbage soup (dinner), no wonder he's so little---Charlie isn't getting enough nutrients as the other kids are.

Guess what gave him the idea of never melting ice cream?
