Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine

Sawbones: Willy Wonka

Episode Summary

There are different versions of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory exploits, but all of them involve strange things happening to children who misbehave. But from a biological standpoint, what does that look like? Dr. Sydnee and Justin discuss the strange science going on at Wonka's factory and whether gum could possibly contain enough juice to turn someone into a blueberry. Note: Willy Wonka is the creation of Roald Dahl, not a good person. More information about his antisemitism available here: https://time.com/5937507/roald-dahl-anti-semitism/ Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/
