It’s been 40 years since Gene Wilder taught us all how to make the world taste good. The kids from the infamous factory gathered on the Today show to reminisce about their everlasting memories.

Good to see they’re all sweethearts about the experience. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a classic, and Wilder will now and forever be our one and only Wonka. (Sorry, Johnny Depp).
