'That’s terrifying!' Colin the Caterpillar has had an Easter makeover – but M&S shoppers are divided
M&S have given their iconic chocolate caterpillar cake a new look for spring, but some shoppers aren’t a fan of his new design.
Colin the Caterpillar has rocked many seasonal looks including Halloween, Christmas and even a wedding themed one. So it’s only fitting he got a new design for the Easter period too!
The new cake was shared by Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which saw Colin’s usual face featuring bunny ears and buck teeth.
His body is decorated with chocolate carrots and pastel colours to celebrate the Easter period. We can definitely see him sitting proudly on our Easter dinner table.
