Okay, hang on. Just hang on a damn minute.
Do you go fishing with a dick joke?
Did you check your turkey's temperature with a dick joke?
Did you love to eat a dick joke every day after school in the 1970s?
No. You used a rod & tackle, meat thermometer, and ding dong, respectively.

Right. The porn book was written
after the children's book, meaning the innocent usage came first, just like every other example of dick slang in the world. The only way this would be shocking is if the porn book came first and then Dahl chose it on purpose for the kids book after the word had already been sullied. As it is, it's a bit of self-referential humor from a character who is supposed to be witty and original rather than sticking with the same old boring euphemisms.
FURTHERMORE: The snozzberries are clearly implied to be the balls, not the penis. Cracked hires writers with brains as big as snozzberries.
