Ever since a May 2014 Rolling Stone cover story dubbed Jack White "Rock & Roll's Willy Wonka," there's seemingly no other way to describe the enigmatic musician/label head.

Of course, White, who celebrates his __ birthday today (July 9), certainly has provided a lot of evidence to earn such a nickname...like when he made a guitar using a scrap piece of wood and a glass Coca-Cola bottle...

...or how he founded Third Man Records and launched his quarterly Vault package series...

...or when produced the "World's Fastest Record" on Record Store Day in 2014...

...or when he opened his very own vinyl pressing plant this year!

You get the idea; Jack White is pretty amazing, but what has been his "Most Willy Wonka Moment" ever?  Vote in the poll below and let us know what you think!

Did we forget a moment?  Vote other, and put us on blast in the comments!
