Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Charlie Bucket and four other children find a golden ticket inside a Wonka Bar, granting them access to a guided tour of the long-closed Wonka factory. Each has been approached by Slugworth who wants an Everlasting Gobstopper. Charlie and his grandpa throw away the prize by drinking the Fizzy Lifting Drink despite being asked not to, but Charlie returns the Everlasting Gobstopper, proving his honesty and goodness over the other kids and wins the factory.

Question: How did Willy Wonka know that Charlie and Grandpa Joe had stolen Fizzy Lifting Drinks? The entire time they were in the room they were completely alone and security cameras obviously didn't come into existence at the time.

Answer: Closed circuit security was invented in 1942 and came into common use in the late 60s and early 70s. Beyond that, Wonka could have had Oompa Loompas monitoring the group or simply noticed that they were gone and guessed.
