As reported by Emma Lake, M&S has phased out the last of Connie's sweets as part of a broader confectionery relaunch, which simultaneously introduced new Colin-themed products. The decision leaves Connie enthusiasts saddened, especially as the new range now includes at least 10 different Colin sweets, but none featuring Connie.
