If you're from the UK (or know someone who is), you’ve probably heard the names Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar. These iconic lollies are a real household staples in Britain, and now they’ve officially arrived in Coles supermarkets across Australia.

Even better news for vegans in particular? The Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar lollies are both vegan and have just expanded the range of vegan lollies in Australia.

This launch marks the start of a huge partnership between Coles and Marks & Spencer (M&S), with 24 M&S products hitting shelves nationwide. And for Aussie vegans, this could be the beginning of something even bigger.

The New Marks & Spencer Lollies Available at Coles

The new lolly ranges have been introduced into Coles supermarkets with a RRP of $6.00 per bag, and the new vegan-friendly lollies include:

Colin the Caterpillar range:

Colin the Caterpillar Cherry Gums
Colin the Caterpillar Cola Gums
Colin the Caterpillar Fruit Gums
Colin the Caterpillar Fruit Sours
Colin the Caterpillar Party Time

Percy Pig range:

Percy Pig Fruit Gums
Percy Pig Phizzy Pigtails
Percy Pig Piglet Fruit Gums
Percy Pig Reversy Percy

Both Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar have been staples in the UK for years. When M&S shifted these lines to be fully vegan-friendly, the move was widely celebrated, especially after decades of the original products containing gelatine.

The burning questions many Aussies are now Googling:
Are Percy Pigs vegan? Yes - the Coles range now available is all vegan.
Are Colin the Caterpillar lollies vegan? Yes - also vegan.

Taste & Texture: What You Can Expect

If you’ve never tried M&S lollies before, here’s the vibe:

Percy Pig:

Soft, chewy, fruity but not too sweet
A unique “foamy” jelly texture M&S is famous for
In the UK, vegans describe them as shockingly identical to the original

Most people say that Percy Pigs kept their nostalgic flavour while becoming more ethical and inclusive.

Colin the Caterpillar

This range is known for being punchier and more playful than Percy Pigs.

Expect:

Stronger fruit flavours
A firmer chew
Classic gummy vibes with a cleaner finish
The Fruit Sours are a massive UK fan favourite

Public Reception in the UK

In Britain, Percy Pigs and Colin the Caterpillar have cult status - honestly, they’re treated like national treasures like how Aussies treat Vegemite!

Many UK vegans still rank Percy Pigs as one of the best vegan lollies ever released, especially for families and long-time fans who missed the original.

Given how iconic these brands are, it’s pretty huge to see them land in Australian supermarkets.

Why This M&S and Coles Partnership Is Big for Aussie Vegans

This lolly drop is just the start. Coles confirmed that 24 Marks & Spencer products will roll out across Australia, and the potential here is massive.

Marks & Spencer has one of the strongest vegan ranges in the UK under their brand:

Plant Kitchen - The M&S Vegan Range

In the UK, Plant Kitchen includes:

Vegan cookies
Savoury pies
Burgers & sausages
Vegan bacon
Ready meals
Desserts
Even their own range of vegan cheese

If this collaboration between Coles and Mark & Spencer grows, Aussie vegans could soon see some of these products appear in Coles - a dream scenario for anyone wanting more premium, accessible plant-based options.

For now, the arrival of the Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar vegan lollies is a very promising start.

Marks & Spencer entering the Australian supermarket scene is a big moment. Starting with fully vegan Percy Pig and Colin the Caterpillar lollies, it feels like a win for all of us.

These new lollies are iconic, tasty, and UK-approved. They can be found at Coles supermarkets for $6 each.

If this partnership grows (and fingers crossed it does), we could be seeing Plant Kitchen vegan bakery items, dairy-free cheeses, savoury pies and ready meals hitting Australian shelves next.

For now? Grab a bag of Percy Pigs or Colin the Caterpillar and enjoy the fact that there’s even more vegan lollies now available in Australia.
