M&S has axed its popular range of Connie the caterpillar sweets - leading fans to beg for her return. The retailer's Colin and Connie characters are better known as caterpillar cakes and - until recently - also had their own joint sweet range. 2 Both of Connie's now-discontinued sweets earned rave reviews from shoppers, who have called for their return Credit: M&S 2 The sweets in the Colin and Connie pack were fruit gums with a love heart in the middle Credit: Alamy But we can reveal that M&S has quietly axed its last Connie sweets during a confectionary relaunch, while at the same time adding in a new pack of Colin ones.
It means there are now at least 10 Colin-themed sweets in the caterpillar sweets range, with Connie totally eliminated, to the disappointment of fans. There are also Colin lollies, biscuits and chocolates. Last month it scrapped its Colin and Connie "Together Forever" sweets, leading one fan to comment online: "Sad that Colin and Connie are no longer Together Forever".
