Aldi has marked the return of the controversial Cuthbert the Caterpillar by parachuting one of the cakes from 40,000ft in a charity skydive.
It comes after the chocolate roll cake was made the subject of legal action by M&S over its similarity to Colin the Caterpillar. However, limited edition Cuthbert cakes will return to the supermarket’s shelves on 17 May, with all profits donated to charities including the Teenage Cancer Trust.
In a latest bid to hit the headlines, a Cuthbert cake was carried to an altitude of over 40,000ft in a specially built aircraft, lifted by a large hydrogen-filled balloon. It was then dropped back to earth, reaching speeds of over 50mph before landing ‘gracefully’ by parachute in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Pic: A mock-up of Sam Kapadia s CV, which was sent into space A CRADLEY Heath jobseeker who was made redundant from his last job has had his CV launched into space in a world-first to celebrate Star Wars Day today (Tuesday May 4). Sam Kapadia is one of three lucky jobseekers who have had their CVs placed on a digital billboard and sent to space to give a stratospheric boost to their job hunt. The 26-year-old, of Saddlers Close, was made redundant from his role as a project engineer with Coventry firm Gentherm last Friday (April 30). He has applied for around 50 jobs since finding out that he was set to lose his job in March. He had worked for the firm for 20 months with the news coming as a huge blow.
