1- Roald Dahl went to school next to a chocolate factory
The first thing you didn't know about Roald Dahl is that he was the original Charlie Bucket.
Well, kind of. In his autobiography Boy: Tales of Childhood, Dahl relates how he attended Repton School in Derbyshire, which was close to a local Cadbury factory. It wasn't uncommon for Cadbury representatives to bring sweets over to Repton for the students to sample. Cadbury was also in fierce competition with another confectioner, Rowntree's, and the two companies frequently engaged in corporate espionage to get an edge on the other. Dahl found the secretive, cutthroat atmosphere surrounding an industry devoted to making sweets for innocent children to be prime material, and from it he created Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
