A Disappointing Experience
Upon entering the Willy Wonka Glasgow Experience, Glasgow families encountered a desolate scene. An almost empty industrial warehouse, barely decorated in some corners with low-quality scenery, and a few actors dressed in poorly made costumes and without artistic makeup. There was no trace of any candy bar, no game or any show that met the expectations of the attendees.
The Impact on Families
The disappointment was palpable among the families, some of whom had paid tickets of up to 50 euros for the event. This dissatisfaction forced those responsible to close the experience ahead of schedule and refund the money to those affected.
The Viral Phenomenon
Despite the failure of the event, the Willy Wonka Glasgow Experience has become a viral phenomenon on social networks. Images shared online, especially that of a supposed ‘oompa loommpa’ and another character called ‘the stranger’, have generated a wave of memes and raving comments about the experience.
Reactions on Social Networks
Among the publications that have circulated on the networks, an image stands out that represents an ‘oompa loommpa’, comparing it to a homemade methamphetamine laboratory, which has generated hilarity among users. Likewise, the presence of ‘the stranger’, a character who scared many of the children present, has been the subject of numerous comments and memes.
From Failure to Absurd Success
The absurdity of the Willy Wonka Glasgow Experience has led to it, paradoxically, becoming a hit on social media. It has even sparked the interest of some, who have ordered costumes similar to those worn by the actors to use in future celebrations, such as Halloween.
