Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum

"Right you are! It’s a stick of gum! It’s a stick of the most amazing and fabulous and sensational gum in the world!"

- Mr. Wonka

Three Course Dinner Chewing Gum was a piece of gum invented by Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The gum enabled the chewer to experience the taste and nutrition of a full three-course meal, and was designed to be a meal replacement. Anyone who chews it turns into a blueberry.

In the book, the gum's three flavors are a hot and creamy tomato soup, roast beef and baked potato with butter, and blueberry pie with cream. The gum itself looks like a "little strip of grey cardboard".
