About this deal

A pig-shaped sweet that contain pig is a bizarre form of honesty from the product designers at M&S, who could presumably have chosen any smiling, anthropomorphic animal from the farm or the forest to be represented in sugar form. Percy was born in Germany in 1992, a product of the company Katjes, a rival to Haribo (also German in origin). Katjes supplied M&S with a foamy-gummy texture for a sweet, and M&S dreamed up the character. (Had someone seen the ingredients list and subconsciously internalised the idea of a pig?)

When the gelatine was removed from the cult classic a year ago they dipped in quality, losing their chew and becoming unpleasantly spongy. I’ll admit the fact that these pig-shaped sweets contained actual, you know, pig, wasn’t ideal. It was particularly uncomfortable when you considered some of Percy’s spin-offs - the dismembered “phizzy tails” and “rosy noses” - at which point it all started to become slightly macabre. But Percy just isn’t the same now he’s lost his oink. A third wrote: “Relationship goals,” with someone else responding: “I need a relationship like Percy and Penny.”
