A new Marks and Spencer food line has got shoppers wondering what they can do next - because it's a bizarre new kind of white strawberry which doesn’t taste of strawberries. Some described the whole idea as "totally wrong" while others wondered if it was an early April 1 gag.
M&S was feeling confident about the £4 White Pearl Strawberries which it claimed had flavours of vanilla and pineapple and was basically a "strawberry in reverse". Tom Pedley, M&S Strawberry Buyer said, Derbyshire Live reports: “At M&S we love to be first to market and introduce products that no one else can, our customers get really excited when we introduce new flavour produce or hybrids!
“We’re known for our Candyfloss Grapes, while the Limelon was all over the news so that’s why we had to bring the White Pearl Strawberry to M&S, not only does it have a really unique flavour but it’s incredible to look at, plus, it’s great for kids, who doesn’t want to try a reverse strawberry!”
