Ever wonder what's going on under the skin of a chewer during the blueberry inflation process? Well wonder no further! In this lesson I'll be explaining the activity and effect the cells from the gum have on the human skin! Why should we care about the skin you may ask? Juice buildup does NOT occur in the stomach as so many proclaim, but actually under the skin! Here's what happens:

1. The first picture shows the gum cells being introduced to the body. These cells originate from the gum, but the body recognizes the flavor when it hits the salvation glands, and the cells fuse with the bodies saliva, making their way to the dermis, where we see the gum begins to malfunction.

2. In the second picture we see the cells from the gum beginning to take action, as they do what they were programmed to do, multiply. The gum was originally supposed to give the chewer the sensation of eating blueberry pie and ice cream, by creating synthetic cells, but where wonka got it wrong is he never figured out how to stop the cells from reproducing, and with the gum now fused to a human chewer, an uneasy process begins to take place.

3. The part that we all know and love, here we see the the skin beginning to turn blue. Juice cells from the gum emit a form of blue dye, with escapes into the dermis and out of the skin pores, spreading onto the skin.

4. The skin is almost completely blue, but there is another problem. The juice cells from the gum developing in the dermis are running out of room to reproduce. With pressure building beneath the surface and expelled out of the skin pores, this still isn't enough to create space for the cells to grow. They now must seek and different option.

5. With enough pressure, the cells multiply even more, now building up in the dermis, pressing the epidermis outward. With increased pressure and a strength in mass, this presents no obstacle for the cells, but the pressure still remains within the dermis.

6. Here we see the cells multiplying to almost twice their size. At this stage, the cells begin to release another substitute of fluid, that can barely be seen out of the skin pores. This explains why violets clothes change color in the movie, and why they stretch to an enormous size to accompany her ever growing body without ripping off. This fluid has even more tiny microscopic cells that aid "stretching". This is why violet doesn't burst immediately after filling up, because the same fluid that's aiding the cells is also holding her together. These cells are now permanently fused to her system, and some of the fluid makes its way deep into her body, due to the growing pressure, eventually reaching her skeletal system. The same process occurs here, as the cells fuse with her bone marrow, giving it a more "taffy" like texture (see other lesson).

So why does violet become a GIANT blueberry? Aren't blueberries small? Well the answer is simple. The cells were originally from an island where wonka gathered exotic fruits, one of which struck his eye, giant blueberries perhaps. Though this wasn't wonkas intention, he figured out a way to substize a sample of the berry to make his artificial and synthetic copy, a replica of the cells from inside of the blueberry. Long after he decided to include it in his famous "3 course meal gum", he figured out that these cells cannot coexist together in a piece of gum. As he's stated before, he's tried to experiment with it by testing it on Oompa Loompas, trying to fix what couldn't be fixed, but this is where Violet comes in!

Any other questions that you have for me about the gum, don't hesitate to ask! There's always a scientific explanation for everything! I'll see what I can answer
