Continuity mistake: In the beginning, where it is showing how the Wonka chocolate bars are made, we see trays holding twelve pieces of chocolate. When it shows the trays on the conveyor belt, each tray holds fourteen pieces of chocolate.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Agustus Gloop gets sucked into the chocolate tube, the inside of the tube is covered in chocolate. But in the far away shot, when you see the tube being retracted, it is perfectly clean inside and out.
Other mistake: Squirrels are used in the factory to get nuts out of shells. Mr Wonka states that they tap the nut first to make sure it isn't a bad nut. However, this is never done until the action is pointed out.
Grandpa Joe: Mr. Wonka! I don't know if you remember me, but I used to work here in the factory.
Willy Wonka: Were you one of those despicable spies who everyday tried to steal my life's work and sell it to those parasitic copycat candy making cads?
Grandpa Joe: No, sir.
Willy Wonka: Then wonderful, welcome back.
Question: Does Willy Wonka not like bubble gum? Or does he not like compulsive chewers?

Answer: Wonka is simply uncomfortable around people. Gum chewing is simply an annoyance he never had to put up with as a recluse.
