#9: Grandpa Joe is a Medical Marvel
Mistake: Grandpa Joe is meant to be bed-ridden, but he somehow managed to buy a chocolate bar
Ah, let’s dive into the enigmatic world of Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory! This 1971 cinematic adaptation of the beloved children’s book brought Roald Dahl’s whimsical tale to life on the big screen, and one character has been a source of endless puzzlement ever since – Grandpa Joe. For someone who claimed to be bedridden for two decades, it seemed like it was pretty easy for him to leap out of bed all of a sudden.
But hold on, there’s more to this conundrum. How on earth did Grandpa Joe manage to procure that all-important golden ticket-winning chocolate bar for Charlie in the first place? It’s not like he could just hop out of bed and casually stroll down to the candy store, right? Did nobody notice his miraculous disappearance, or did the whole family just accept his newfound mobility without a single question? Grandpa Joe, you’ve got some serious explaining to do!
