The Creator of Jelly Belly Is Giving Away a Candy Factory – Willy Wonka Style
Jelly Belly creator David Klein is getting ready to retire and he wants to go out big… like Willy Wonka big… by having a nationwide scavenger hunt with the winner winning their own candy factory!
The ‘golden tickets’ in this treasure hunt are actually golden necklaces with verification codes on them. They are hidden in secret locations across the U.S. – one in each of the 50 states.
People can purchase a $50 ticket on the contest website to enter the hunt for their state’s necklace. Once a player receives a clue to the location, the hunt begins and whoever finds the necklace and submits the corresponding code to [email protected] will win $5,000.
And you don’t have to win one of the 50 necklaces to be eligible to win the grand prize. All entrants into the contest are eligible to win the key to the candy factory, which also includes an all-expenses paid trip and education to a candy-making university so you can make good use of your new candy factory.
If you’d like to learn more, there’s a Facebook page set up for the contest RIGHT HERE!! Happy hunting! And if you win, can I please apply to be one of your Oompa Loompas? Thanks.
