Charlie Bars (100 words)
"You've done it, Charlie!" exclaimed Wonka, dancing around. "You're the only one left! Do you realize what's happened? You've WON!"
"Won what?" asked Charlie, becoming excited.
"Everything!" crowed Wonka with delight. "Oh, a clever child, a delightful child!" He put his hands on Charlie's shoulders.
"Listen," said Wonka, "how would you like to stay in this factory for the rest of your life?"
"Do you really mean it?" asked Charlie, unbelieving.
Wonka meant it. And several weeks later, when Charlie Bars came out, they sold out immediately. They were sweet, with a meaty flavor, and just a hint of optimism.
