Two chocolate caterpillar cakes have taken the world by storm (yes, you read that right).
Last week, Marks & Spencer lodged an intellectual property claim with the High Court over a cake sold at Aldi named Cuthbert the Caterpillar.
The retailer claimed the cake infringed its Colin the Caterpillar trademark and “rides on the coat-tails” of its reputation, and want to remove Cuthbert from shelves indefinitely.
Amid the legal drama, the caterpillar’s “feud” has become an internet sensation, with hilarious TikToks and memes going viral.
Cuthbert has been found GUILTY…
..of being delicious. #FreeCuthbert
