The Colin x Freddo Faces Concept
The latest conceptual innovation to capture attention in the UK snack scene merges two highly recognisable figures: M&S’s Colin the Caterpillar and Cadbury’s Freddo. This hypothetical new product, presented as an M&S Colin the Caterpillar Freddo Faces sponge cake, integrates the distinctive chocolate frog character into the well-established cake format. Visually, the design adheres closely to the familiar M&S Colin packaging, retaining the iconic green and white colour scheme and branding. The core product appears to be a classic chocolate sponge cake, encased in its signature chocolate shell, but topped with miniature Freddo Faces. These small, flat chocolate pieces are depicted as decorative elements, scattered across Colin’s back alongside what appears to be traditional M&S white chocolate buttons. The idea behind this particular Snackfish centres on a direct crossover, combining the celebratory appeal of Colin with the simple, nostalgic charm of Freddo. This approach posits a creative departure from M&S’s usual Colin extensions, which tend to keep the character within its own brand ecosystem.
Colin’s Established Line-up and New Directions
The M&S Colin the Caterpillar range is extensive, having developed a strong market presence over decades. The core M S Colin the Caterpillar Cake remains a fixture for celebrations, supported by variations like the M S Mini Colin the Caterpillar Cakes for individual portions. Beyond cakes, the brand has expanded into diverse confectionery. This includes chewable items such as M S Colin the Caterpillar Softies and M S Colin the Caterpillar Speckles, alongside an array of gummy sweets. Shoppers find M S Colin the Caterpillar Cola Gums, M S Colin the Caterpillar Cherry Gums, and M S Colin the Caterpillar Fruit Gums, each offering a distinct flavour. For those preferring a sharper taste, M S Colin the Caterpillar Sourtastic, M S Colin the Caterpillar Fruit Sours, and M S Colin the Caterpillar Sour Stomps provide tangy options. Party-focused items like M S Colin the Caterpillar Party Cups and M S Colin the Caterpillar Party Time selections further round out the collection. The Freddo Faces concept thus represents a novel direction for Colin, moving beyond internal variations and generic flavour extensions to an explicit partnership with an external, well-known confection.
What the real range looks like
The M&S Colin the Caterpillar range is extensive, including variations of the core cake like M S Colin the Caterpillar Cake and M S Mini Colin the Caterpillar Cakes, plus numerous gummy sweets such as M S Colin the Caterpillar Softies, Speckles, and various Cola, Cherry, Fruit, and Sour Gums. This invented Freddo Faces cake represents a significant departure, introducing an explicit cross-brand collaboration into Colin’s typically internal flavour and format extensions.
