What is this in my Percy pig bag please? We just got to the bottom of the bag and found this? Hmm

Have checked the M&S website and can’t see any creatures resembling this one Confused

Ha, I've just been doing the same after joking about the shrew.

Percy does have friends though so maybe a Christmas range one who has escaped into wrong bag?

CrazylazyJane · 12/11/2020 20:12

I'd tweet M&S and see if they can shed light on what it is and how it got into your Percy Pigs.

Percypigmystery · 12/11/2020 20:23

Thanks for the replies, think I will contact them, as I’m intrigued now. Don’t know whether these pics are clearer?

Anyone else nit like Percy pigs as much now they are all veggie? The texture's not the same. I can force them down though...

Maybe you win a prize?

YerAWizardHarree · 12/11/2020 20:30

@Wbeezer yes! They used to be amazing and honestly like crack! The whole bag would be gone in seconds. Now I don't like them Blush

Nothing to worry about assuming that you don't have any allergies. Just a sweet made by the same factory, on the same line for another range or most likely another manufacturer. I had a skull shaped sweet in a bag of yogurt gums the other week. It happens occasionally.

Staffy1 · 12/11/2020 20:35

Looks like a cat or squirrel holding a heart.

Percy Pigs are made in Germany so it looks like one of these got in there.

Judging by it's eyes it's eaten too many Percy Pigs!

It is a German kitty gavel

DaphneFanshaw · 12/11/2020 20:38

Is it white chocolate ?

BusySittingDown · 12/11/2020 20:38

Bloody hell, M & S are full of surprises atm. Last week another MNer found a hair bobble in her Marks and Sparks fish fingers!

You were lucky!

BillyGoatsChuff · 12/11/2020 20:40

My DS found a random sweet in his Percy Pigs last week as well!

bellagogosdead · 12/11/2020 20:41

Katjes are lovely!

MrsWhites · 12/11/2020 20:42

I’d tweet them, they might send you a years supply of Percy pigs as a reward (worth a try surely)

AllPlayedOut · 12/11/2020 20:43

Wow, well done! That looks just like it 

Thank you for the star. Sad to say but this may be my proudest moment on MN.

I might have to see if I can track down some of them now because they look good.

I agree that Percy Pigs don't taste as good as they used to, but it doesn't stop me from eating them.

SonjaMorgan · 12/11/2020 20:50

Maybe if you post on twitter they will send you some free bags? I watched a programme where someone complained about getting no red or black fruit pastilles in a packet and he received a whole box of sweets.

MrsWhites · 12/11/2020 20:51

@SonjaMorgan to be fair, what good would a pack of fruit pastels be with the red and black!

Although I’m one of those weirdos that like the green fruit gums the best!
