Right then. Gather round, butter the napkins, and prepare yourselves โ because Greggs and Marks & Spencer have only gone and done something beautifully unhinged.
Theyโve fused forces like a sugar-powered Megazord and unleashed the Percy Pig Pink Bake โ a pastry so pink, so bold, so gloriously unnecessary that it feels less like a snack and more like a cultural event.
This isnโt food.
This is British chaos wrapped in flaky pastry.
๐ฅ WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PERCY PIG PINK BAKE?
Glad you asked, butt.
Imagine:
- A classic Greggs puff pastry, flaky enough to explode on impact
- A sweet raspberry jam centre oozing like a guilty secret
- Finished with a thick slab of Percy Pig pink icing that gives absolutely no thought to subtlety
Itโs cheerful. Itโs loud. Itโs pinker than a bubblegum guitar at a glam rock gig. And somehowโฆ it works.
Horribly. Perfectly. Spectacularly.
๐ธ WHY THIS COLLAB SLAPS
Britain runs on Greggs.
Percy Pig runs through our veins.
So putting Percy into Greggs is like booking a pop icon to headline a sweaty punk venue โ it shouldnโt work, but suddenly the place is rammed and nobodyโs complaining.
Office workers are smashing these on lunch breaks.
Suits are sitting on benches with jam on their cuffs.
Careers are being quietly re-evaluated between bites.
This is high-street anarchy, mun.
๐ท HOW MUCH DAMAGE ARE WE TALKING?
- ยฃ1.85
- Limited time only
- Zero dignity required
Youโve paid more for a coffee that tasted like regret. This at least delivers joy and a mild sugar rush.
๐ THE RIFF REPORT VERDICT
Is it classy?
No.
Is it subtle?
Absolutely not.
Is it the most fun thing to happen to a bakery counter in ages?
Too right.
The Percy Pig Pink Bake is Britain in pastry form โ daft, cheerful, unapologetic, and powered entirely by sugar and bad decisions. Rock โnโ roll has amps. Punk has safety pins. Greggs hasโฆ this.
Get involved while you can, mun โ because once itโs gone, weโll all pretend we were there when history was baked. ๐ค๐ฅ๐
