“Roald Dahl's sister Astri died from appendicitis at age 7 in 1920 when Dahl was 3 years old..”
…and his father Harold died of pneumonia at age 57 several weeks later.” Upon his death Harold left a fortune…which was assigned to probate.
Hmmm. Sister dies at age 7?
Father dies a few weeks later?
Fortune goes to probate?
Anyone getting bad vibes??

THE WITCHES ARE RULED BY THE VICIOUS AND POWERFUL GRAND HIGH WITCH!!

CADBURY executives used Dahl and his fellow students at Repton as taste testers.
“It was the perfect setup—an isolated population of teens and preteens who exchanged confidentiality for a little gray box containing a grading sheet and 12 different bars of chocolate—one “control” bar and 11 new confections.”
One “Control” chocolate bar?
Eleven that were “new confections”??
THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PHARMACEUTICAL EXPERIMENT!!

The story of Pfizer began in New York City in 1849, when a pair of German immigrants, cousins Charles Pfizer and Charles F. Erhart, received a $2,500 loan from Charles Pfizer’s father to purchase a commercial building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
This is where they embarked upon a joint business venture in the chemical manufacturing industry.
