Gum

The gum being made from the machine.

The Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum was a piece of gum invented by Willy Wonka that feeds a person almost like they're really eating dinner, starting with tomato soup, roast beef, and baked potato before concluding with blueberry pie and ice cream (though any soup, appetizers, main courses, etc. could be used). However, it's currently in development, and has major flaws with it. The gum will transform the chewer into a gigantic blueberry, just as it did to Violet Beauregarde.

Appearance in the Film[]

Violet Gum

In the film, Wonka shows the tour group a machine in The Inventing Room. Wonka pulls a lever on the machine and a few seconds later the gum is produced. Violet Beauregarde grabs the gum and consumes it, ignoring Wonka's warning that it wasn't complete; as a result, Violet starts being affected by it during the blueberry pie part. She turns completely blue and inflates into a giant 10-foot blueberry.
