What motivates Augustus: Augustus would appear to be the simplest motivation: he’s a glutton and loves to eat. Eating is his hobby and his parents encourage it, as Mrs. Gloop tells the interviewers at dinner. Mr. Gloop might have said the same had he not eaten the microphone that came too close to his mouth. Motivating Augustus would be a bit trick...
What motivates Violet:Violet is an incredibly competitive little girl with a slick-selling car salesman father. We know very little about her except for her competitive drive. She describes herself as a gum chewer until the Wonka contest was announced, at which point she promptly switched to chocolate so she could win the rare prize. As soon as she...
What motives Mike:Mike has an obvious love of television, this is the one thing that everyone remembers about him. Heck, his name is Teavee. He eats all his meals in front of the television and they’re all TV dinners–his mom proudly announces that Mike has never even seen the dinner table.

Apr 2, 2024 · There is an affectionate corner of British culture that will be forever Piper’s. Whenever she smiles her big gobstopper smile it feels as familiar and recognisable as a close family member’s.
A gobstopper, also known as a jawbreaker in the United States and Canada, is a type of hard candy. It is usually round, and usually ranges from 1 to 3 cm (0.4 to 1.2 in) across; though gobstoppers billed as having a diameter as large as 3.25 in (83 mm) have been marketed.
The Everlasting Gobstopper is a gobstopper candy from Roald Dahl 's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. According to its creator Willy Wonka, it was intended "for children with very little pocket money".
A gobstopper usually consists of a number of layers, each dissolving to reveal a different color (and sometimes flavor). A gobstopper is too hard to bite without risking dental damage (hence the name "jawbreaker").
