We need an article for Wonka Shockers, or a sub-section on the Spree article. 174.62.226.243 ( talk) 18:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Going to the Wonka Candy 1800 hotline, Maurice (Wonka voice actor) is the recorded anwering machine. Add?

I've recently created and added a Willy Wonka Candy Company template to most of the Willy Wonka Candy Company-related articles. If you have any questions or comments please contact me on my talk page. -- TBC ??? ??? ??? 05:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The article lacks info on the company's history. The Wonka brand was owned by Sunmark in the '80s and was indeed sold to Nestle. There is no article for the Sunmark Capital Corp. so maybe someone could add something about it here?
My grandfather
[1] was the president of Sunmark and he got the idea for SweeTarts while touring a Tums factory and saw how they compressed powdered medicine into tablet form. He applied the technology to powdered sugar to produce a variety of candies including Spree.

I agree the page needs more history but the current history needs fact checking. The nestle website states that the Wonka Brand was started in 1983... that date does not match any dates currently on the page nor the date located in the reference website page used for this article. Are these dates made up? 65.175.222.116 ( talk) 00:51, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
isnt it great how this is word for word the same as what is on answers.com? -- the preceding comment is by 207.63.186.16
I'm told that PixyStix and maybe a couple other product (SweeTarts, BottleCaps) lines predate 1971. Probably they were existing products of Breaker or another company. knoodelhed 16:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
The company used to sell "Exploding Chocolate" in Britain, maybe they still do. It was (or is) a bar of purple chocolate which had been carbonised, so when you bit into it it fizzed quite violently in your mouth. Did they never sell this in America? Rusty2005
These candies / sweets are available over there, under the Wonka Name. They also have some other stuff like Redskins!

Was reviewing the articles for the candies that are developed and discontinued by Wonka, and it seems that none of them alone have very concrete articles... Perhaps it might be easier to merge them all into this article and build on it from there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.240.223 ( talk) 00:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Might be worthwhile. For the time being though, it's kind of sloppy that the Runts candy has its own detailed section, while no other candies have such a section (and the Runts info is already provided on its own linked article). Dlsimon ( talk) 21:57, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Why aren't they in the box. I haven't seen them in years, so probably in the discontinued section. I loved these things, wish I could still find them. 76.226.117.250 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC).
This entire article reads like an advertisement. Too many external links embedded in the article. It should probably be rewritten. 76.28.72.87 ( talk) 18:44, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
for some reason most Wonka products seem to be missing the Wonka logo recently. I hope it isn't a bad omen... Visokor ( talk) 06:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Why does the article start out describing this as a "british brand"? There seems to be as much or more evidence in the article that it is an american brand, or a swiss brand if you count is as part of Nestle. 24.94.25.67 ( talk) 11:15, 9 June 2016 (UTC)Sandy
Request a page move: current branding is now known as Nestlé Candy Shop. Visokor ( talk) 21:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Is it just me or is the statement about the Wonka logo/company closing around 2015 not supported by citation 3? I'm not a normal Wikipedia user so someone else should probably evaluate the claim and see if it needs verification. Thank you! 174.34.213.170 ( talk) 05:40, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Unopposed move ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 15:23, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Nestlé Candy Shop → The Willy Wonka Candy Company – Name by which the brand was primarily known during the period of its existence.
