Aldi has this morning confirmed that it’s bringing back a limited edition Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake.
The cake was a seasonal product and has not been sold in stores since mid-February this year.
Even so, the chocolate-encased critter found himself at the centre of a legal storm, after rival supermarket Marks and Spencer said he was a dupe of its Colin the Caterpillar cake.
M&S lodged an intellectual property claim with the High Court to contest the similarities.
Aldi will be donating profits to charities Teenage Cancer Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support, which are also a charity partner of M&S.
It has just posted the following to its social media channels: "Hey Marks and Spencer we’re taking a stand against caterpillar cruelty. Can Colin and Cuthbert be besties?
"We’re bringing back a limited edition Cuthbert next month and want to donate all profits to cancer charities including your partners Macmillan Cancer Support and ours Teenage Cancer Trust."
"Let’s raise money for charity, not lawyers #caterpillarsforcancer."
Aldi is calling on other supermarkets to join it and M&S in raising money or cancer charities through the sale of caterpillar cakes.
