Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

So we thought that today we'd give you some sort of background on the "Inspiration" behind Chilli Chilli Bang Bang. Obviously, one of the main inspirations is Mexico and that wonderful fruit/veg - the CHILLI!

However, the other Inspiration behind our giant flying chilli is, of course, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!





Based on the book by Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, written for his son, the much loved 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang staring Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes was part of everyone’s childhood. A sensational score by the renowned Sherman Brothers included such unforgettable songs as Truly Scrumptious, Toot Sweets, Hushabye Mountain, and, of course, its Oscar-nominated title song Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The fantastic adventures of this out-of-the-ordinary car that flies through the air and sails the seas, are reaching a new generation through an enthralling and enchanting stage musical which burst onto the world famous London Palladium stage in 2002.
