M&S shoppers brand £1.50 Valentine's product 'so wrong' after discovering rude detail

As Valentine's Day approaches, supermarkets like Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons and Sainsbury's are all stocking up with treats for our loved ones.

But it's M&S that seems to have really caught the attention of shoppers, thanks to its naughtily named £1.50 treat.

For the day of love, Marks & Spencer has released a seasonal version of its classic Yumnut treat - and of course, they've aptly named it a Lovenut.

Did we really expect any less from M&S?

According to the Mirror, the 'Love Nut Yumnut' is a delicious hybrid of the yum yum and doughnut, smothered with smooth white chocolate icing and topped with pink icing stripes. It will set you back £1.50 at M&S in-store bakeries.

Each is also decorated with freeze-dried raspberries and chocolate hearts for an extra Valentine's Day twist. We can't think of a better way to spread the romance on February 14.

M&S shared news of its Lovenut on Facebook, and it quickly caught the attention of shoppers.

Posting on its page, the retailer wrote: "Feel the LOVE NUTS this Valentine’s!. Our new love nut Yumnut™ lands in store TODAY – a heavenly hybrid of a yum yum and a doughnut, decorated with freeze-dried raspberries and chocolate hearts. Tag someone you’d love to share one with!"

Responding to the post, one person joked: "I would prefer this to a love sausage!"

"I love your adverts these days. Last year it was a love sausage. An aubergine for Easter. Brilliant PR. You gotta have a sense of humour especially in these trying times. Well done M&S," said somebody else.

A third shopper wrote: "They look delicious but the name is so wrong!"

"Fancy a little taste of love nuts?!" joked somebody else.

M&S Love Nut Yumnuts are on sale in stores now, and cost £1.50 each.
