A Hollywood actor has already asked to be in cast in a movie about the ‘shambles’ Willy Wonka experience.
"Invention, my dear friends, is 93 percent perspiration, six percent electricity, four percent evaporation, and two percent butterscotch ripple," the great Willy Wonka once said.
However, last weekend's Willy Wonka experience was 100 percent chaos.
The controversial Glasgow event did not go to plan at all as customers accused organiser Billy Coull of 'robbing' them.

For anyone that needs a catch up, the £35-per-head event was supposed to based on Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was scheduled to take place over Saturday and Sunday.
As hundreds of kids attended the venue with their families, they were shocked to walk into an 'abandoned, empty warehouse'.
Children were left in tears while police were also called to the venue.

According to images posted online, there were only a few Wonka-themed props, along with a small bouncy castle.
Refreshments-wise it looked like the only beverage available was a bottle of lemonade split between the entire group.
Not to mention a 'pick n mix' consisting of just five sweets.
One of the actors at the event also claimed she'd been given a script a couple of days before that has since been widely mocked, only to be told to abandon it and 'improvise' on the day.

Amid the chaos, Hollywood actor Karen Gillan says she wants in.
The Jumanji and Guardians of the Galaxy star took to X (Twitter) to share her excitement, writing: "PLEASE CAST ME IN THIS (like a movie based on this story, not the actual thing. Actually, no, either is fine)."
"The Phantom of the Wonka," one of her fans replied, as another added: "This would make a decent dark comedy theatre play."

"I mean you're a slay actress, I'm sure you can nail it," a third wrote.
"Not a conventional choice but I dig it," someone else said.
This comes after Coull was mobbed by a group of angry customers who accused him of 'robbing' them.

Responding to a few sweary parents, he said: "We guarantee a full refund from Monday. We used artificial intelligence to create some images for the event."
Speaking to STV, Coull also gave a formal apology, saying: "I’m really shocked that the event had fallen short of the expectations of people on paper.
"My vision of the artistic rendition of a well known book didn’t come to fruition. For that I am absolutely truly and utterly sorry.
"There was every intention to hold the event, from the pictures, despite not being in the best light hopefully you’ll be able to see that there was every intention to hold the event.
"Unfortunately there was unforeseen circumstances and the event didn’t come to light. These issues were technological in nature.
"We had ordered a holographic paper that didn’t arrive on time. The holographic technology in itself is absolutely fabulous technology and unfortunately there was a delay in postage."
