A British icon, nay legend, is arriving on American soil today with friends, and I'm going to pick them up. Off we go. I will give you one hint. His name starts with a c, and he shares space with someone whose name starts with a p. Good luck piecing that one together. We have a little ways to travel, and our man of the hour is waiting for us in, drum roll please, Target. Are you getting warmer on the yes? Now I have a clue as to where he might be hiding out, but I also feel he might be somewhere extra special. Wait. I see him. It's Marks and Spencer's Colin the Caterpillar, and he's finally on American soil and available to purchase in your local Tier across The USA. I'm getting emotional. Now better me formally introduce you. Colin is a fruity gum caterpillar, and he's a bit of a big deal back home in The UK. Beloved, in fact, and with good reason. No remember I told you he had friends? There is also a sour candy version of Colin, but prepare yourself as this is a sweet and sour experience with a super tangy twist. And then we have the Colin tier, one for the squidgy chew lovers, A mix of fruit and cream and one caterpillar gummy. Percy pig has also come along in some new varieties, including the iconic fizzy pigtails. And any sour candy lovers will instantly fall in love with these. The rank is unrivaled, my friends. Finally, we have Percy Reversi. This is the iconic Percy pig with more gummy than foam. Honestly, I could cry I'm so happy, and of course, the first thing I did at home put together the ultimate mix to grab on the nights I'm homesick for The UK and my local Marks and Spencer sweet treats.
