Aldi’s once-controversial Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake has had a makeover and has returned to shelves after more than a year, following a legal battle with Marks and Spencer. And I was one of the first in line to buy it when he went back on sale.
The chocolate caterpillar went back on sale today, June 6, after announcing the return on social media over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend. Aldi planted huge vans outside M&S stores across the UK with a photo of the caterpillar, reading “#CuthBack” and “Definitely not in M&S from 06/06/22.”
The vans have been spotted outside M&S stores in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham Newcastle and London.
