Hi, my names Yeahnah, and I’m a Percy pig addict too

Aurorie11 · 14/11/2019 19:40

Didn't see Christmas one, but ate a packet of normal ones instead of dinner on very delayed train journey

whiskersonkittenss · 14/11/2019 19:43

Are the Christmas ones a different flavour?

WelcomeToShootingStars · 14/11/2019 19:46

Definitely not being unreasonable. Percy Pigs are sensational!

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 14/11/2019 19:47

YANBU - i say this as someone who has diverted on a trip in HK just to feed my habit.

TropicPlunder · 14/11/2019 19:48

My daughter just gave me one. I told her it tasted like shampoo Grin

I was addicted but now prefer Candy Kittens have you tried them?

ojo821 · 14/11/2019 20:01

Even though I’m not a vegetarian, I’m obsessed with the veggie ones!

MisfitNinja · 14/11/2019 20:05

@ojo821 the Christmas ones are suitable for veggies!! 💚

Ummm.... what are these Percy Pigs of which you speak? I don’t go to M&S very often so am ignorant!

JessicaRarebit · 14/11/2019 20:08

I am a Percy pig fiend!

Have you heard that M&S are now making Percy pig muffins? Don’t walk, RUN! This is not a drill people

Tothemoonandbackx · 14/11/2019 20:22

I think ALL Percy's, Connie's and Colin's are suitable for Veggies now, I love them!!! 🐷🐽 I'm also Diabetic, so these are a godsend when I'm having a hypo, the problem is not eating so many of them that I go the other way 🙈 xx

YABU, the milk bottle sweets are much better.

This is the third random pro-M&S product thread to pop up on Mumsnet in the last few days.

The cynic in me would wonder if they've got their PR bods starting threads in an attempt to distract everyone from the fact that THEY LET MEN IN THE WOMENS CHANGING ROOMS FOR FUNSIES

AND THEIR WEBSITE IS FULL OF PERVY MEN WRITING ABOUT HOW SEXY THEY FEEL IN M&S FEMALE UNDERWEAR, WHERE THEY TUCK IN THEIR PENIS (UNSEWN GUSSET ALERT!) WITH ACCOMPANYING PHOTOS.

But that's the cynic in me. I'm sure it's just a random coincidence.

ojo821 · 14/11/2019 20:57

Ooh I might have to give the Christmas ones a go then.

YourOpinionIsNoted · 14/11/2019 21:00

Just remember, when you buy your Percy Pigs that the guys who left these reviews can now be found in the female changing rooms, seeing if they can tuck their penis into the gusset of their m&s knickers, right next to the 12 year old having her first bra fitting.

So glad you've posted this.
Very important imo.

Cornishbumpkin · 14/11/2019 21:25

How did this post go from being about sweets to being a borderline public display of hatred and slander to men who choose to dress in women's clothes??

Cornishbumpkin · 14/11/2019 21:25

The sour Percy pigtails are amazing though!

YourOpinionIsNoted · 14/11/2019 21:32

Slander? What slander? What have I said that is untrue?

Cornishbumpkin · 14/11/2019 21:36

I'm not here to argue but the way you call them 'Pervy men' and started about quite an unrelated topic to the OP

YourOpinionIsNoted · 14/11/2019 21:39

Is is not a perversion for a man to wear female underwear for a "naughty touch" (his words, read the screenshot) or for a man to buy, wear and review a bra designed for teens / preteens?

It's not hatred, and it's not slander because it's true. Men leave reviews of women's knickers online - and on other forums boast about trying them on, leaving er, stains on them, and then putting back on the rack.

These are men - identifying as male online - not transwomen.

M&S have decided to let all men change in women's changing rooms if they'd like to.

Hardly a surprise is it?
