Marks and Spencer is facing criticism after it made all its Percy Pigs vegetarian.
The retailer developed a gelatine free recipe eight years ago, but still kept the original.
It's reported the veggie version has now been discreetly rolled out as standard, but people claim they taste like washing up liquid.
Shame you're not a fan, Matt :( We've recently reviewed the recipe for Percy Pigs and have removed gelatine from the recipe. Our Food team are closely monitoring all the feedback we're getting, so thanks for tweeting. Denise

Percy Pigs were first released in 1992. In 2011 the retailer introduced a vegetarian version of the classic sweet, 'Veggie Percy', so 'even more people can enjoy them'.
Penny Pig was introduced in 2013, followed by Globetrotting Percy in 2014 and Percy piglets.
An M&S spokesperson said: 'After a lot of hard work (and tasting) we've finally perfected a 100% vegetarian Percy - something our customers have been asking us for, for a while!
