It’s over at last!!!
The Guardian reports
Colin the Caterpillar has shaken hands with rival Cuthbert in a resolution of the supermarket cake wars.
Marks & Spencer has reached a deal with Aldi after taking legal action to protect its bestselling bug-shaped Colin cake. M&S had called in the lawyers over concerns that the German discount grocer’s rival chocolate sponge roll, Cuthbert, was making copycat appearances at birthday parties and picnics
Details of the deal, which was finalised in the high court last week, have not been revealed, but it is understood that Cuthbert will not appear again in quite the same form.
Marks & Spencer, which launched the legal action against Aldi almost a year ago, said: “The objective of the claim was to protect the [intellectual property] in our Colin the Caterpillar cake and we are very pleased with the outcome.”
