Silly question:

Are you bad at math?

No, I'm actually really good at math, to my own surprise.

I have always hated numbers until they had to be incorporated into my business (pricing, costs, investments, income, salaries, etc). Maybe that's why I'm good at math after all.

Thoughts? 😭😭😭😭

Ha ha ha, yes! Everybody wave and wiggle!

What's a secular song that get you lit? 😂

Gets me what? Nevermind, I had to Google what "lit" means. You kids and your slang are always changing.

One of my guilty pleasures is Knuck If You Buck by Crime Mob, but I rarely listen to it due to the horrible, filthy language...

Can you sing? What are your talents?

Oh, goodness no. Ha. I'm not the best singer. I'm not bad. Just not Michael Jackson good. More like average.

Although, I do have quite a few talents, which include flute playing, dancing, reading backwards, rapping, voice imitation, acrylic painting, magic, cooking, and of course, candy making. :)

Don't worry if Augustus asks you about the Christkind again. You'll find all you need to know about her at this site: https://germangirlinamerica.com/what-is-the-christkind/

Oooh, how marvelous! So it's kind of like Santa Clause! A gift-bringer. I think Santa might have some heavy competition in Europe.

Speaking of which, I may have to travel to Germany during the Christmas season to see if I can find this Christkind.

I don't know why you listened to that asker's music link you don't know anything about music!

Oh, Mumbler. You got jokes, hm? So ever-loving help me, if you test me one more time I'll dunk you in a chocolate barrel! And. Hold. You. Under until chocolate is squirting out of every little hole on your body! And I'm not kidding. Hahaha...ah...

Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Answering questions.

Moving right along!

Ok then here you go:

It's the cover of take me home, country roads by Kira Lise. She put that whole thing in a minor key. It's so sad but so beautiful and makes me longing for something I can't explain

Even though you were right about it not being my cup of tea, it is a very beautiful song.

I listened to this cover and then the original. I kind of prefer this version. It's more somber, puts you in a headspace that the original doesn't, in my opinion.

I need to have a word with you and Edward privately please. 😁 IMMEDIATELY 😠

Oh...

Yeah sure, one moment, Tarrant.

I know it's probably not your kind of music, but I really fell in love with it. Please give it a go.

H-how do I search the song? It's not a hyperlink, dear...

Maybe you could just give me the song name and the artist, that would work better. :)

So I talked to Tarrant last night about the get together as you requested and he would like to know why do you dislike Alice and not want her to come, what do I say? 😨

Oh, dear Edward! Poor boy, I shouldn't have asked you to talk to him, I apologize. I dislike Alice because she got drunk with a blue caterpillar at the last get together and made a complete fool out of herself (and offered some of my Oompa Loompas a sip of her "Trippy Juice"). No need to be nervous dear boy, I'll handle it from here.

So your eyes are not purple? I mean that's fine of course, but I liked to think there's some kind of magic behind your eyes.

Oh, well...I'm sorry to disappoint you. But there has always been magic behind these eyes, rest assured, dear! It's how I create all my delicious chocolate, you gotta have the vision and the magic! ☺️

I hope I'm not bothering you I have a few questions?

1. What's your favorite color?

2. Chocolate or coffee?

3. Why are your eyes purple?

4. Can we see your bedroom? If you don't want us to that's okay lol

5. Have you ever thought about getting married and having kids?

You're not bothering me at all, it's no problem really.

1). My favorite color is either gold or burgundy. Pick either.

2). Chocolate, of course. Believe it or not, I'm not a huge fan of coffee. It stains your teeth and can give you bad breath and anxiety. I don't understand the obsession with it, but to each their own.

3.) My eyes are in fact not purple, they're brown. Rather than color, I believe the purple tint you're seeing is due to reflectiveness, depth and dimension. All that science-y stuff. That's been a topic of confusion for quite some time.

4). I'll have to think about it. I'm not very fond of my privacy being invaded.

5). No, I've never thought about it. The Buckets are like family and my Oompa Loompas are like my children, honestly. I don't think I need anything more than that. I'm very content with the way things are now here at the factory. ☺️

Good morning, early birds! And if you're not an early bird then that must make you a night owl. Either way, good morning and good afternoon and evening to all!

I wanna show you guys some behind the scenes things around the factory, one of my personal favorite festive rooms!

Let's take a peek inside the Winter Wonderland room, shall we? This is where myself and the Oompa Loompas have our winter parties and Secret Santa giveaways!

~WINTER WONDERLAND~

This beautiful area completely changes in decor every month with transformations in amazing landscaping, water features, suspended decor from the ceiling and awe-inspiring scenes throughout. But during the holiday season is when I believe it becomes the most gorgeous. With the large glass dome atop the area, you get fantastic scenery sightings inside during the day and the area is provided with wonderful lighting for nighttime viewing as well. Because we all know that nighttime is when everything beautiful sparkles. ✨

This 8 foot long train travels around the huge Christmas tree and is surrounded by hundreds of multi-colored Poinsettias. In one of the train cars, a digital camera faces forward and can see what the train sees as it travels around the track on a nearby television monitor! One of my trusty tech Oompa Loompas thought the camera would be a magnificent addition and I couldn't agree more! Isn't that genius?

Every month, you'll have a different theme from huge flower pots and fields of daisies during the spring to an amazing Asian theme during the Chinese New Year. Any time you are fortunate enough to stop by the factory, should Covid ever go away, you will be astounded at the beauty and creativity of this unique attraction! Let's not forget the beautiful rocking horse to the left, that does indeed work! Also, this is one of our tallest Christmas trees in the factory, although it may not look tall on camera, it's actually standing close to 24 feet! That's like six Oompa Loompas stacked on top of each other, ha.

These are leafless white Christmas trees, added decor to balance out the color scheme. We were going for a snowy and colorfully-bright Santa's Workshop North Pole theme. Though half of the Oompa Loompas wanted the theme to be Polar Express, with nothing but faux snow made from powdered sugar, elves and trains everywhere. But who knows? Maybe this year we'll vote again on themes or infuse the two!

This cute Polar bear is a remote controlled animatronic that was designed specifically for the Oompa Loompas to ride around the factory on. One of their most adorable ideas to date, in my opinion.

And what would a factory be without reindeer? This is a favorite statue of mine, it was a Rudolph model but unfortunately the glowing red nose had to be removed due to overheating, which started a small fire.

Oversized ornaments for an oversized tree, nothing more.

Ah, the Nutcracker! Yes, I almost forgot. This design was requested by Santa himself (yes, Santa is real, do NOT debate me) as he and Mrs. Clause love to visit the factory during Christmas time and feast with us. It's a joyous time, really. And we make sure to put it out for them every year.

~•••~

And that, people, brings us to the end of our little virtual tour! Unless I forgot something? Nope, I don't think I did. I hope you enjoyed! I must say, this has to be one of the most fun and cozy places in the factory, mostly because we spend so much time changing and decorating it throughout the year! And Christmas happens to be my favorite time of the year. Should I ever open my factory to the public again it's definitely one of the rooms I'll include in the next tour! Maybe I'll even do a Christmas tour and show off all the beautiful decorations in the factory.

But til then, see ya on the flip side!

What's a product you didn't sell because it didn't work out or something? 🤔

Cocksuckers. I created this thingie-ma-bob when I was 23. You see, the original idea was that it would be a small match box but instead of matches, you get a teeny little sugary sucker inside! Kinda like miniature pixie sticks. I wanted it to be colorful and exciting, a burst of different flavors within each one! But as you can guess, today that wouldn't be a good marketing idea. People would get the wrong idea. Heh...

For one of the more obvious reasons...

Theres two things I absolutely adore whenever you're speaking:

1.: How soft and gentle you speak. Yeah, that's a thing.

2.: Your little 'kay. It's just the cutest.

Thank you! I find that speaking in a gentle voice helps my Oompa Loompas to work better as some of them can be easily startled by abrupt, loud noises. Plus there's just no need to be loud and obnoxious. It doesn't build a healthy working relationship.

I've also been told by Charlie's Grandma, Georgina, that my voice calms her, so I guess that really is a thing! Who would've thought? I think she may have a little crush, but that's a story for another time. Ha!

When Mike ran across your television room and knocked your oompa loompas over you should've took your cane across his forehead and knocked his ass out. Deadass

As hilarious as that sounds I think mumbler learned a bigger lesson after hopping into the machine, a probably permanent one he won't forget.

If you could travel anywhere in Europe, where would you travel to?

Hm, I would visit Venice, Italy. I think Italian happens to be one of the most beautifully spoken languages and I've always dreamed of living there when I was a little boy. Not to mention the beautiful architecture, it's all very breathtaking. I'd love to just watch the people travel by boat to their destinations. I wonder how they manage it all?

Heh...emergency calls. Be back later!

What are some things that piss you off?

Wet socks, off brand chocolate, liars, snobby kids, thieves, copy cats, cold coffee, trends, whangdoodles, Edward's associates (Joyce), chewing gum, uncleanliness, mouth breathers, cigarettes and soggy bread.

Just to name a few, of course.

The most adorable thing in the world.

I'm not feeling so hot today so my Oompa Loompas decided to bring me hot chocolate and cookies in bed. And they've already started dinner. I really don't know what I would do without them! Fortunately, I don't have to find out.

Do you think that people who drink their hot chocolate cold are disgusting?

Absolutely. Why would anyone want to drink cold hot chocolate? Ew. Just get an iced coffee instead.

What do your uh, Oompa Loompa workers do when they're not working son?

Oh, hi, dad! When the Oompa Loompas aren't working they're usually down in the Disco room dancing (as shown below), playing games and having drinks. Or in the cafeteria eating, or in their own room assorting their delicious cocoa beans! Most of the time, you'll find them in the Disco room spinning around, breaking it down and such. Some of them have learned a new dance called twerking, or something that they showed me. It's basically booty girating. They just love music. ☺️

What's your favorite room in the factory? (Here's mine:

Of course you'd pick the room with sausages. Do you ever get tired of stuffing your face, child?

My favorite room, in fact, happens to be the Chocolate room! Oh wait, no... that's not right. Maybe Dessert Island? Heh. It could be Yankee Doodles. Or not. As you can see, I haven't completely decided as I haven't given it much thought. Every room is special in its own way.

U have an onlyfans?

Isn't that an app primarily used for soliciting money in trade for nudity? If that's the one then no I don't, it's disgusting.

You kids these days are really something else.

@miketeaveegaming Aw, is the little mumbler jealous that he can't break it down like Mr. Wonka can?

Instead of worrying about what I do in my free time I would be more concerned with finding clothes that fit me, if I were you. Or maybe try out for the Lakers, stretch.

Let's keep pumping out the chocolate!

Oh I'm stupid sorry 😭😔

You're not stupid, you're just really bad at math. You're like a dim light on a Christmas tree, you aren't the brightest bulb but you glow every now and then. And that's what makes you special and different. Ha ha.

Hallo! Augustus here! It vas my birzday four days ago. ;) *shows off a book he got titled "Garfield Livin' the Sweet Life"*

Hey! Happy belated birthday, dear boy! How's that funky chocolate situation going? Did you ever shower? Please tell me you didn't eat the chocolate off yourself...

But grandpa joe said he worked for you 20 yrs ago

Yes, and 20 years ago I would've been 22, when he was working at my store on Cherry Street.

Your 42 I thought you was like 31 or 35 cuz 35-20 and all but you look young af what's your skin care routine? 😂😂

No, going by your assessment I would've been only 15 years old at the time I opened my first store on Cherry Street, dear. I hadn't even graduated school. I opened my store in my early twenties. The factory was built by the time I was 27. Fifteen years later, I'm 42. Easy math. Anyone could do it.

Day 37464738383 of me asking your age 😂😂😂

You don't give up so easily, do you? I'll give.

I'm 42.
