“On Thursday, Marks & Spencer said it had begun legal action against Aldi to “protect” Colin from the discount grocer’s rival chocolate sponge roll Cuthbert which, for a smaller fee, has been masquerading as Colin at birthday parties and on picnics.”

It IS pretty funny, although I'm sure Marks & Spencer doesn't think so.

 

I wonder how many news articles and blog posts are already out there showing how easy it is to make your own caterpillar cake. The (admittedly clever) concept seems a difficult thing for M & S to protect, even though they may have been the first to market it.
