"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a 1964 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.

Veruca Salt is a greedy, demanding, spoiled brat and one of the four main antagonists of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". She demands every single thing she requests and is the second person to find a Golden Ticket and the third eliminated from the tour. Unlike the other children, she did not find the golden ticket herself; her father instructed the workers of his peanut shelling factory to unwrap thousands of Wonka bars he had purchased until they found a golden ticket.
