Marks & Spencer have had a lot of fun with their character brands in recent years - to the extent that virtually everything is themed to Percy the pink pig or Colin the Catterpillar if it can. Here we see a prime example - eat the chocolate faces off the cake as a Thorntons style chocolate lollipop! These are very much a part of childhood shopping trips.
At £1.75 for 26g of chocolate I can see why these were a begrudging treat.
I chose the raspberry flavoured Percy as my treat with Colin in the bag for my partner. A welcome pick-me-up for showing Nanna round the shop.Great flavours and decent chocolate quality. Worth the admission price
We went to the cafe after - and I’d planned to get a Percy Pig Frappe (poor guy) but they’d run out of blender ice! I settled for tea and a wrap.
I chose the egg wrap as it seemed nice and healthy - but what’s this…
…oh no - Percy is in this too! I’d not consciously chosen the smoked ham, but all of the themed messages must have snuck in.
I’m not sure that M&S would be wise to theme the pork based sandwiches to Percy, I think it might cause a few too many questions.
Very nice wrap though - good egg and veg. And as always the M&S tea was perfect.
