The Everlasting Gobstopper is a candy from Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that, intended, according to Willy Wonka, "for children with very li ttle pocket money", not only changes colors and flavors, but also never get any smaller and never disappear. In 1976 the name of the fictional candy was used for a product similar to a normal gobstopper, or jawbreaker. Although only briefly mentioned in the book and its 2005 film adaptation, the 1971 film adaptation Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory used the Everlasting Gobstopper as a plot device in which Wonka's business rival Slugworth attempts to bribe the children visiting the Wonka factory to steal one for him.
