Yes but it is Clear
Aldi has Copied that M&S Established Cake

It looks just like an M&S Colin.

The Judge will get Aldi to halt their Cuthbert.

I think Colin should abdicate the throne and let Wiggles have their reign tbh.

No Aldi in particular
have copied the Colin M&S design
100%



M&S will win this in Court.


3 Copyrights are registered by M&S



[infringing the trademark of its Colin the Caterpillar cake.]

I can't believe they have only been around 30 years.

My mum always used to get ones for me as a kid. She is such a trendsetter.

My mum should take M&S to court for making Colin the Caterpillar the success it is today.
