Colin the Caterpillar is a much loved M&S character that is best known as a cake, but has inspired a whole range of treats.
While most Colin items are food, shoppers can now get their hands on a new Colin toy.
A new Colin the Caterpillar Pet Toy was spotted in stores and it takes the shape of the traditional cake.
Customers saw the product on social media and shared their excitement.

Many people tagged their loved ones on Facebook and said they needed to get it for their pets. One wrote, "the dogs would like this", and another agreed, writing, "the boys need one".
A shopper excitedly added, "no way!", another said, "how cute" and one more penned, "I need this for myself".
Another joked: "I don't want the toy, give me the cake!" One shopper quipped that, unlike the cake, it will "never go out for date".
Earlier this month, the retail giant delighted fans as it launched a new range of household staples.
Commenting on the new line, M&S said: "New in the M&S Foodhall – your bathroom favourites … re-imagined.
