In all honesty, I'd love to see a sequel/prequel on more of Oompaland and Willie's adventures there.

Oh yeah, you get cocaine from the cocoa leaves not the bean. You grind the leaves into a paste, then dry it out and powder it down...... at least that is what I have always been told. I do know that if you chew the cocoa leaves straight off the plant you get the cocaine high. The natives showed the Spanish conquistadors this trick to give them more energy.
the coca and cacao trees are different
cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) being the bringer of chocolate
and
Genus: Erythroxylon
Species: E. coca
being the good working plant turned super villain via refinement
