Caterpillar wars: time to pick sides in battle of Colin v Cuthbert

Photograph: Katherine Anne Rose/The ObserverPhotograph: Katherine Anne Rose/The Observerolin the Caterpillar first darkened M&S’s shelves in the autumn of 1990, mere weeks before Margaret Thatcher stood down as prime minister. It’s too simple to put the timing down to coincidence. The symbolism was obvious. Here was an anthropomorphic chocolate sponge log ready to hold the nation’s hand through the coming decade. The lady wasn’t for turning; the new guy wasn’t for turning into a butterfly.

Copycaterpillars! Love it! 😂

Quintessentially Tory? The only people I know that shop in M&S are past and present teaching colleagues plus family members. All of them vote Labour while a couple are staunch Corbynites. They'll be gutted to know that you think they're Tories.

Every supermarket does a caterpillar cake. Why suddenly is it worth suing over now and not before?

coopuk every time 😋

Hope nobody eats the one pictured after the kid smeared their sticky fingers all over it? 🤢

Country going to the dogs and we’re talking caterpillars?!?

This is a dumb slinky war.

Everybody is having butterflies over it 😂🤣

Team Cuthbert! AldiUK

Cuthbert 👏🏻🤣 Colins a jerk.
