Marks and Spencer's Colin the Caterpillar cake has been a huge favourite among Brits, ever since it first went on sale - more than 30 years ago. To this day, many fans enjoy tucking into its chocolate buttercream filled sponge, milk chocolate shell and candy shell chocolate beans on its back.
However, with the cost of living crisis still causing prices of every day essentials and many other items Brits love to rise, forking out £8.50 at Marks and Spencer for the cake may not be within everyone's budget. However, one shop is now selling hundreds, if not thousands, of Colin the Caterpillar cakes for a fraction of the price.
News reporter Emma Gill at one of our sister publications, Manchester Evening News, headed to Park Cakes' outlet shop in Oldham, to bag herself the beloved cake for just £1.50. But as good as that might sound, she ended up coming away feeling rather queasy.
