Jelly Belly Founder Giving Factory Away In Real-Life Willy Wonka-Style Treasure Hunt

Jelly Belly founder David Klein is staging a Willy Wonky-like treasure hunt to find one lucky person to give his factory to, it has been announced. As he gets ready to retire, Klein is looking for someone to take over, and he’s hiding as series of golden tickets around the country in order to find just that person. Just don’t tell Slugsworth company secrets!

  1. It’s like my childhood dreams come to life! If you’re like me, you grew up wishing Willy Wonka was real and that you could go hunting for a golden ticket to get a tour of a giant chocolate factory full of all the sweets you could eat. While getting the keys to the Jelly Belly factory isn’t quite like that, it’s very similar, enough to make me want to take part!
  2. You’ll have to pay to play. It costs $50 to be in with a chance of winning the Jelly Belly factory, though it should be noted that’s the main prize and that there are several others being given away too. While the “golden tickets” that are hidden will be in the form of necklaces, there will be separate hunts in different states. Taking part in one of these will give you a chance to search for the ULTIMATE prize.
  3. So what does the ultimate prize entail? According to a press release, “The biggest and best part of these treasure hunts is that anyone who joins at least one treasure hunt will be eligible to search for THE ULTIMATE TREASURE which will be the key to one of his candy factories and an all-expenses-paid trip and education to a candy-making university. He will add this treasure hunt after all the states have had a chance to play.”
  4. So how can you join? If you want to be in with a chance of winning your own Jelly Belly factory among other awesome prizes, you can sign up on TheGoldTicket.com. However, participation is limited so you’ll have to be quick!
