Bozo The Clown Made a Bonkers "Making Of" Video For WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTOR — GeekTyrant
I've got an absolutley wild behind-the-scenes video here for you to watch for the orignal 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and it features Bozo the Clown (Larry Harmon) visiting the set in Bavaria, Germany. The video came with the note: 'Here's a short behind-the-scenes film, 'Making a Movie,' made by Larry Harmon Corporation, showing Bozo the Clown visiting the set of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and speaking with its stars, while explaining how a motion picture like that is made.' After receiving his 'Golden Ticket', Bozo met with author Roald Dahl, visited the music department, the props department, and he also met the actors playing Oompa-Loompas before meeting Gene Wilder in character as Willy Wonka. I've been a fan of this film my whole life. I've seen tons of behind-the-scenes footage, I've watched 'Making of' documentaries, but I never knew until now that freakin' Bozo The Clown visted the set while sooting the film! It's bonkers!

The Chocolate Principle – Sweet, Simple, and Strategic 🍫
Let's talk chocolate. Ever notice how a single piece of chocolate hits the spot? But three pieces? That's indulgent. And a whole bar? Suddenly you're full, guilty, and Googling 'how many calories does a bar of chocolate have.' That, my dear revenue warriors, is the Chocolate Principle. And it applies to your pricing and upselling more than you think. 🍫 What Is the Chocolate Principle? It's the sweet spot where desire meets satisfaction. Just enough to make someone want it, not enough to overwhelm. In revenue terms: If you give away too much , you dilute your value. , you dilute your value. If you offer too little , you miss out on conversion. , you miss out on conversion. If you nail the right amount, you get the 'mmm, I'll take it' moment. 🍬 How Revenue Managers Get It Wrong The buffet strategy: 'Let's throw in breakfast, spa access, welcome drinks, late checkout, and a unicorn.' Now you're just giving away margin like it's Halloween. 'Let's throw in breakfast, spa access, welcome drinks, late checkout, and a unicorn.' Now you're just giving away margin like it's Halloween. The tease strategy: 'Upgrade for €300 more.' Cool, but not even Willy Wonka would pay that without some golden ticket perks. 'Upgrade for €300 more.' Cool, but not even Willy Wonka would pay that without some golden ticket perks. The overcomplication trap: 'Rate ABC includes DEF, unless it's GHI, in which case JKLM.' At this point, the guest has lost interest ... and possibly their will to live. 🍭 The Sweet Spot Moves – What You Can Do 1️⃣ Bundle with purpose. Instead of throwing in everything, bundle high-value, low-cost items. Room upgrade + drink voucher? Yes. Upgrade + spa + massage + late check-out + shoe-shine? No. 2️⃣ Tap into emotions, not logic. People don't buy because they need. They buy because they feel. 'Make your weekend special with a skyline view and Prosecco on arrival' = yes. 'Upgrade for €47.60 per night' = meh. 3️⃣ Test the portion. Just like chocolate, different guests have different tolerances. Run A/B tests with different upsell combinations and prices. You might be surprised how little extra it takes to drive big uplift. 🧠 Final Bite of Wisdom Great revenue managers don't just maximize value ... they create craving. You don't want your guest to say, 'That's a good deal.' You want them to say, 'That sounds perfect.' Because when you hit that chocolatey sweet spot? They bite. And they come back for more. Love, Fabi P.S. Next time you're stuck on an upsell combo… eat a piece of chocolate. It helps. View source

Jamie Carragher shares snaps of his daughter's 21st fancy dress party as Liverpool legend steals the show with hilarious costume
Jamie Carragher pulled out all the stops for his daughter Mia's 21st birthday party - including dressing up as none other than Willy Wonka. The Liverpool legend ditched his usual pundit attire for a purple velvet coat, top hat, and oversized bow tie as he channeled the eccentric chocolate factory owner in celebration of his daughter's milestone. Mia, who was dressed as Poison Ivy, marked her birthday in style with a lavish party surrounded by family and friends. But it was her dad's eye-catching outfit that stole the show on social media. Carragher, 46, posed proudly in full costume, sharing photos and videos from the party on Instagram. He wrote: 'What a great night for Mia's 21st birthday fancy dress party,' alongside a heart, dancing and beers emojis. Adding to the fun, Carragher fully embraced his Willy Wonka persona by taking the mic and performing Pure Imagination, the iconic song from the classic 1971 film. Meanwhile, Jamie's son, James Carragher, who plays professionally for Wigan, also got into the fancy dress spirit by channelling a Peaky Blinders vibe by dressing in a sharp three-piece suit, flat cap, and pocket watch. Mia is an actress, having graduated from Tring Park Performing Arts School in 2022. When she was younger, she trained as a dancer at Rare Studios in Liverpool. She has appeared in multiple movies, including: 'One Night in Istanbul', 'The Gathering' and 'Watering Hole'. Mia boasts over 89,300 followers on Instagram, where she shares photos of her travels, lifestyle and career ventures. Meanwhile, she posts funny videos and vlogs on her Tiktok account, where she has amassed a further 59,200 fans. Last month she made a brief appearance while her dad was on punditry duty for CBS' Champions League coverage. After his phone run live on air, Carragher answered: 'Hiya babe, are you okay? I'm on TV.' Micah Richards joked: 'Well, there goes the Emmy,' before Carragher explained that Mia was simply asking where her mother was. He told his daughter: 'I don't know, I'm in London, babe. I'm in the studio.' Scott then asked Carragher if Mia would like to go on loud speaker, to which she appeared to oblige. After being informed by Richards then she had interrupted the live show, Mia's opening words were: 'Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't have a clue [he was on live TV].' Carragher then hilariously asked: 'Are you not putting the dodgy box on?' as CBS's coverage is only available in the United States. Host Kate Scott then took her opportunity to ask Mia: 'I am so interested, your dad can be a little bit spiky on TV, what's he like at home?' to which Mia replied: 'He is lovely.' After her response was met by a crescendo of awws in the studio, the Liverpool legend said: 'I love you more than anything my girl. What a star.' He added: 'There is nothing this girl can ever do wrong. I can't ever shout at her, I find it hard to shout at you don't I?'
