so still confused

M&S make a gummy, vegetarian-friendly chewy sweet called Colin because it looks just like Scotroutes

It's traditional in our house that not only does our boy get a Colin, but so do me and the wife.
We even took one in the car to Bologna hiding it between the suitcases.

I've just had to google it as I didn't have a clue who Colin the Caterpillar was.

"Colin the Caterpillar" is a chocolate roll cake sold by British store Marks & Spencer. More than 7 million cakes have been sold since it was introduced in 1990

I would have been 10 when it came out so does that mean my parents have kept it from me all these years and robbed me of my childhood? Suppose it is M & S though so maybe it was only a thing for posh kids 😂

Is it just me or am I only one who is surprised to see how drac looks?

Is that the magic iPad (but disguised as a sheaf of papers) clutched to their bosoms?

Get back to me when you meet Percy. Colin is a proper little prick, the amount of arguments that his face must have created across the land.

Yes. In a bid to hold on to my youth, I have a Colin every year. Looking forward to March so I can indulge, aged 35.

Berwick doesn't count. It doesn't know what country it's in.

Even the Morrisons thinks it Scottish.

If Berwick was confident about being in Scotland it surely would be Berwick-upon-Tartan.

Confession: Cannot stop eating the cola-flavoured Colin the Caterpillars until the bag is empty...

Apparently he's gone through some sort of metamorphosis and become terrifying, I would link but frankly I refuse to point traffic to the sun, express et al. Google works though.

That's not a confession, unless it's a bulk 25kg bag, in that case though it's as much an achievement as anything.
