Dumbest, Most Desperate, Most Tone-Deaf Corporate Sales Promotions Ever

Wonka Bars

Fun fact: The 1971 classic movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was actually financed by Quaker Oats as part of a promotional campaign for their new Wonka-branded chocolate bars. The problem? Quaker Oats just couldn’t get the recipe for a chocolate bar right. When the movie debuted, instead of the planned Wonka bar, the company could only release a pair of peanut butter candy products instead.
