M&S shoppers 'feel sick' after discovering £1.60 pancake day item

Retail giant Marks and Spencer has been allowed to keep its food halls open for lockdown, meaning shoppers can get their hands on tasty new releases while doing their grocery shopping.

But M&S' latest release has divided shoppers, and has even made some people 'feel sick'.

For pancake day, M&S has released Percy Pig pancakes, which are bright pink and filled with jelly pieces.

Posting on Facebook, the NewFoodsUK page wrote: "NEW PERCY PRODUCT ALERT. Percy Pig Pancakes! WOW! These are super delicious!

"Buttermilk pancakes made with Percy Pig dessert sauce, with apple & raspberry jelly pieces - these have a beautiful fruity taste!

"We love the jelly pieces & sauce in these pancakes - perfect heated up! These are genius!"

The new pancakes quickly caught the attention of social media users, and the post has been shared almost 2,000 times, and commented on a staggering 11,000 times.

But while some are keen to try out the new Percy invention, others aren't quite as enamoured with the idea.

Writing under the post, one person said: "Love Percy but definitely give this one a miss."

"I don’t know what I’m looking at, I know I feel sick and can’t look at the picture for long. It’s not pig flavoured pancakes is it," said somebody else.

Somebody else called the pancakes "a step too far."

A pack of 4 Percy Pig pancakes costs £1.60. It is available to buy in stores now.
