This is one of the few musicals that doesn't have a mushy feel good factor.  In fact I struggle to find any other in the genre.

There is* also Satan's version of The Sound of Music, in which "the nuns hand the von Trapp family over to the Germans. And the sight of stormtroopers singing "Climb Every Mountain" does rather change the tone of the ending . . .".

Ahh, I had no idea Fanta originated in WW2 Germany. You learn something every day. Thanks.

When radium was first discovered, it was subsequently inserted into all sorts of products that were then marketed for their health benefits. Toothpaste, especially.
