Bucket- Edible Playgrounds

"How did everyone like the Slide Room?"

"Um," said Keerthi. "It was only a regular slide, wasn't it? Other than being so large. Not that I disliked it! I had never been on a slide big enough to be used by a Taranturoo."

"Not just any slide! It was made of chocolate," explained Mr. Bucket. "It's all part of my new edible playground line of Wonkastructure. Imagine! You will go out to play in the park, and you will say-"
...

Mr. Bucket sighed. "Okay. But normal children do play in parks, and they will love this! They will be sliding or climbing or bar-monkeying and they will start to get hungry. But they won't need to take a break! No, they will snap off a delicious piece of brick wafer or vanilla glue and continue on with full bellies and high spirits."

"But won't they eventually eat all of it?" asked Keerthi.

"Of course," said Mr. Bucket. "And then the city will order another. More candy for the children, and more profit for me. It works wonderfully."

"But it would melt," said Lim.

"Nonsense! He didn't always use it, but Mr. Wonka himself had already invented anti-melting chocolate technology before I was born! I have only improved the process since! My Wonkastructure can withstand snow or sun and taste absolutely budsplattering while doing it."

"But it would be very unhygienic," said Keerthi. "Children would be getting their dirty shoes all over it. Germs would be everywhere."

"And bugs," said Lim. "Bugs would swarm them and gobble everything up."

"You children have little faith in me," said Mr. Bucket. "Of course I know about that! That is why the chocolate used in the Wonkastructure is mixed with a special antibiotic poison. It kills germs and bugs and squirrels instantly!"

Keerthi frowned. "But wouldn't that also-"

"Let us not get bogglecrumped in the details," said Mr. Bucket.
