Here's the post from Pop Candy blog:

It's impossible to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory without imagining oneself as Charlie Bucket, holding that magical golden ticket.

The Nestle-owned Wonka candy brand hopes to offer a similar feeling with its new promotion. Buy a candy bar in its Exceptionals line, and you may pull out a wining Golden Ticket. The prizes are pretty sweet: Ten grand prize winners get to bring three friends on a trip around the world with $12,500 in spending money.

Other prizes include airline vouchers, Ticketmaster gift cards, movie certificates and (of course) free chocolate.

It's worth noting that the Exceptionals bars are the line's priciest items; they're being marketed as "premium chocolate." However, that's money I think a lot of Roald Dahl fans might be willing to spend in exchange for a potential thrill.

Haha! That's awesome!:)
oh the prizes are pretty sweet indeed... now if they could only throw in Johnny Depp dressed as Willy Wonka I would make sure to buy all the candy ;P
 
I'm not really sure where they sell this particular bars around here, though there are a few well known chocolate/candy shops in the city so i may just check those out. But it's not something carried in say, and every day grocery store. At least ive never seen it.
 
Cool. I've been waiting for the Wonka brand to do this for ages....I just felt the concept was unavoidable! And that top prize of the around the world trip with all that cash for spends is just...out of this world!
 
Oh my gosh.
One of my childhood dreams is coming true hehe, *willy wonka willy wonka, the nutty chocolater, willy wonk willy wonka, lets all give a cheer!*
 
MMM remember the nestle wonka bars years ago? Yum.
I heard about this too ages ago, didn't know wether it were true, : king :
 
I took this news to work with me yesterday, and every one of us thought this was an awesome idea! 😀 I haven't seen any of these bars before though, so I hope they release them somewhere in Canada. I'd totally buy a bunch to try and win me that ticket! It sounds like a great reward for the winners
 
That is really awesome, I'm surprised it took them that long to do it, must have saved it for the recession, lol
