10. Wonka bars: Another movie-related food gift, but just like the Stay Puft Marshmallows, it’s an awesome movie-related food gift.

Online is a world where, to paraphrase “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”‘s Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) himself, “dreams become realities and realities become dreams.” The internet is the only place where you can buy a case of 18 Wonka bars with the click of a mouse.
