Swanley: So, you won’t believe what happened! Shoppers were totally confused when they spotted M&S Colin the Caterpillar cakes at Aldi. Can you imagine? It’s like seeing a celebrity in the wrong movie!
People started posting pics online, showing Colin hanging out next to Aldi’s own Cuthbert the Caterpillar cakes. And get this, Colin was even draped in a cloak that looked like something from BBC’s The Traitors. How wild is that?
This whole thing seems to be a cheeky nod to the drama between M&S and Aldi back in 2021. Remember when M&S tried to sue Aldi over Cuthbert? They claimed it was too similar to Colin. In the end, they settled, and Aldi made some tweaks to Cuthbert’s design.
Now, folks are tagging Aldi on social media, asking what’s up with Colin’s surprise appearance. One person was like, “I’m so confused! Is that really Colin in a cloak at Aldi?” Another chimed in, “Someone’s put Colin in Auldhouse with a Traitors cloak!”
Aldi, being the witty brand they are, didn’t take long to respond. They told one user, “He’s trying to blend in with the good guys.” Classic Aldi humor! They even joked about what would happen if they caught him.
While it’s unclear if M&S is behind this stunt, people are loving it. One user tweeted, “Sometimes I love this country, and things like this are why.” Another said, “This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week!”
And let’s not forget the banter! People are having a blast comparing Cuthbert and Colin. One person said, “Cuthbert really has the friendlier face, doesn’t he? What’s Colin been smoking?”
