M&S Colin the Caterpillar now 'unrecognisable' after redesign

Colin the Caterpillar has been a hot topic in recent weeks - and there's now another twist in the ongoing saga.

Marks & Spencer has given its iconic cake a brand new look, as it continues to take legal action against Aldi.

In an effort to protect its beloved Colin cake, M&S took legal action against its rival supermarket after it launched a 'Cuthbert the Caterpillar' version.

As the two retailers continue to goad each other on social media, M&S has now released a brand new Colin product - and it's a version we haven't seen before.

The supermarket has turned Colin into biscuits, and some shoppers aren't happy, reported Manchester Evening News.

The biscuits were shared on the NewFoodsUK Facebook page, where a post read: "New Colin the Caterpillar Button Biscuits! Chocolate biscuits with a white chocolate filling! Not bad for £1 - you get 5 packs of 2."

The product quickly went viral, and shoppers had a lot to say.

"They don't even look like caterpillars!" slammed one person.

Another wrote: "Looks more like a worm than a caterpillar. Maybe should be changed from collin the caterpillar to walter the worm."

A third person joked: "Wait... that's #Cuthbert sliced into pieces!"

"Couldn't of picked a better time," laughed somebody else.
