"He eats so many candy bars a day' that it was almost impossible for him not to find one. Eating is his hobby, you know. That's all he's interested in.

And what I always say is, he wouldn't go on eating like he does unless he needed nouishment, would he? It's all vitamins, anyway. What a thrill it will be for him to visit Mr. Wonka's marvelous factory! We're just as proud as can be!"
"What a revolting woman," said Grandma Josephine.
