Best I can do is George Oscar Bluth Sr., or maybe his twin I can’t tell.
Gobstoppers... The thing Slugworth wants to steal from Willy Wonka?
Gobstoppers are a real candy that you can buy (they're alright, but kind of annoying if you want to use your mouth for anything else in the next half-hour), the movie didn't invent them. What they invented was the "everlasting" gobstopper.
I always knew those candies as jawbreakers (should be self-explanatory based on the above description) so it might be also be a regional/generational thing
Of course it's a regional thing.
Why do you think it was so important he made them everlasting?
Except that wasn't slugworth in the movie. It was a guy working for Willy Wonka who was testing the kids to see if they'd betray him/could be trusted with the factory.
I don't care for Gob...
as a gobstopper, I want to thank you for this meme it's a thankless and difficult job
But are they everlasting?
