MARKS & Spencer has ignited a firestorm of controversy with its 2025 Valentine's Day chocolate range. The high-end grocer, known for its posh nosh, has rolled out a selection that's as cheeky as it is sweet, sparking heated debates among shoppers. At the centre of the storm is a milk chocolate banana dubbed 'You're Appealing'.

This treat, made from milk chocolate and filled with butterscotch biscuits, has left some customers chuckling and others shaking their heads. Priced at £3.75 for 60g, it’s not just the taste that's got people talking. One unimpressed shopper took to Facebook to vent: "That's very Poundland type of stuff.".

Another quipped, "Butterscotch? Wouldn't it have made sense if it was banana flavoured chocolate?". But not everyone was critical. A third shopper simply declared, "That's amazing.". But the chocolate banana isn't the only eyebrow-raiser in M&S's love-themed lineup.
The retailer has also unveiled 'Love Struck', a solid milk chocolate cupid's arrow. This saucy sweet has similarly caused a ripple, with one amused shopper commenting: "Look at M&S getting their kink on.". Another asked, "I'd like to know who came up with these in M&S product development?".
A third said: "Is it only me, or do these look like they should be sold in Ann Summers?". This isn't the first time M&S's Valentine's range has drawn attention. Last year, the retailer released an array of cheekily designed chocolates, including ones shaped like lips, an aubergine, a cherry, and a peach.
