When will M and S drop the Percy pig obsession ! I hate the Jelly sweets they are so sickly and now everything in there is adorned with his oinky face from pj's to wrapping paper!!

@GreenBeanMcGee

why would anyone want to consume large amounts of gelatine if they don't need to.

Because the gelatine ones taste better and have a better texture. I find a lot of vegetarian sweets are too firm.

@GreenBeanMcGee I agree. I find that stick to your teeth too Xmas Grin

@NynaeveSedai

I love Percy pigs! They used to be the best vegan friendly sweets. YABU
And the Colin the Caterpillar cola flavours were the only vegetarian ‘cola bottles’ that didn’t have a weird gummy texture.

Who doesn’t love boiled up cows hooves?

Christmas crackers were crap! None of them actually worked, hats were child sized

If we're going to eat the rest of the cow, why waste the hooves?

I have genuinely been gifted Percy pig tea towels today. I had to feign excitement. They will be immediately going to the charity shop.

I know how gelatine is made thank you. It doesn't bother me. It makes sense to use as much of the animal as possible.

I quite like the sweets but don't understand why he's in everything from cakes to soft toys. In fact the ubiquity does make me less inclined to buy the sweets

I like the sweets but the cupcakes are rank. I’ve found a lot of the alternative produce just tastes a bit odd.

I seem to be the person they are marketing to 😂 I love the percy pig range, think I've got most of it 🤣 love the edibles as well as the non-edibles

@Dinosauraddict that's one thing I haven't got, I'd gladly take them off your hands
