Where did they get the name “Veruca Salt”?
Veruca Salt is a character from Roahl Dahl’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was made into the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Veruca was the bratty rich girl who wanted everything, including an Oompa Loompa and a goose that lays golden chocolate eggs. She eventually fell down the “bad egg” chute and wasn’t seen from again in the story.
