<Tr> <Th> Family </Th> <Td> Diane Salt (mother) Robert Salt (father) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Nationality </Th> <Td> British </Td> </Tr> <P> Veruca Salt is a greedy, demanding, manipulative and stingy brat . She demands every single thing she wants (and more), the second person to find a Golden Ticket, the third eliminated from the tour . A selfish, rotten brat who shows her wealthy family no mercy and has absolutely no regard for other people's property, Veruca frequently pesters her parents to purchase a variety of different objects for her . In the 2005 film, it is revealed that she owns a pony, two dogs, four cats, six rabbits, two parakeets, three canaries, a parrot, a turtle, and a hamster, totalling up to 21 pets . But when she interferes with the trained squirrels used by Willy Wonka to select the best nuts to bake into chocolate bars, she is judged as a "bad nut" by the squirrels and discarded into the adjacent' garbage chute' and her parents follow . All three are later seen leaving the factory "covered in garbage". Her nationality was never specified in Dahl's novel, but she hails from an upper - class family in the United Kingdom in both films . </P> <P> In the 1971 film adaptation, Veruca has a fiery temper, rudely demands various desires nonstop, brags about her wealth, and chastises anyone who questions her . In this film it is not squirrels but geese that lay special golden chocolate - filled eggs for Easter, one of which she demands as a new pet . She and Violet, in this film, bicker on two occasions . Veruca is eliminated at the end of her musical number in the film ("I Want it Now") after climbing a machine designed to tell whether or not the geese's eggs are "good" or "bad" eggs, and it judges her as a bad one . Her father then follows and is also deemed bad . In the Tom and Jerry version of the 1971 film, Veruca and her father manage to escape the furnace right before it ignites while trapping Tom inside . Veruca demands to be taken home and have her father make her a different chocolate factory, but Mr. Salt finally decides to discipline her as the near - death experience seems to have finally gotten to him . </P>
