Hey @Tesco I was about to cook my favourite vegetable of all time (broccoli) and after unwrapping it, to my surprise, found caterpillars inside! They’re really nice and we’ve ended up keeping one as a pet and naming him. but just as a heads up, some of your broc has c-pillars😳🐛
In case anyone is interested, the name we’ve gone with is Cedric, he’s from Spain (at least we assume so because the broccoli is) and he dances after eating spinach and broc all day long 🐛🐛🐛
OH MY CHRIST. Just bought another broc and before I’ve even opened it I can see caterpillars 😭🐛
SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS BROC CONTAINS ANOTHER 5 CATERPILLARS????!!!! 5!!!!! Also it turns out that THIS... is now a caterpillar thread
DJ Khaled: ANOTHER ONE gif
WELL! What do you know! My housemate just went to cook his broccoli and BAMMMMMMM, he’s got green mates too. Open to name suggestions for our 7th caterpillar child 😭🐛🐛🐛
The OG caterpillar Cedric has begun evolving... is Caterpie is about to become Metapod 😮
Day 3, and we’ve got our first caterpillar romance story. Janine and Slim Eric nap together, eat together, and occasionally dance together 🐛
Also, a closer look at Cedric who is now 30 hours into his chrysalis stage - now fully renamed Metapod until he elvolves into butterfree 🦋
WE’VE GOT AN ESCAPOLOGIST - this rebel has grabbed some vanilla sticks!! tesco you can pay for me to get a new set of vanilla sticks now, they’re fackin frazzled
Oh god, it’s actually started cocooning and spun silk round it, so it won’t come off, it’s gonna have to chrysalis outside the cage with a house plant, this is CATERPILLAR CHAOS
BIG SCENES!!! £1.10 for 3 broccolis full of caterpillars - up it to £50k Tesco or am going to sell my story to Take A Break magazine
My mum won’t eat her Sunday Roast for fear of caterpillars!!! Look what you’ve done tesco 😭
Honestly Tesco, look how much Janine the caterpillar EATS!? I think you need to provide more 55p broccoli gift cards for her
Croc needs to learn not to play with his food tbh 🐛🐛🐛
Final update of the day... we’ve now got 3 cocoon / chrysalis, they grow up so fast 😭🐛
BROCCOLI CATERPILLAR UPDATE - before the weekend 6 out of the 7 became chrysalis / cocooned... Broc was the last to evolve so I let him roam about 🐛
I then got him to pose for a picture with his brother Olly so we could see the diff between caterpillar and cocoon. 🌚🌝
Broc then became a chrysalis on Friday night... But then on SUNDAY MORNING I WAS GREETED BY CEDRIC!!!! he’s changed a bit 🦋🦋🦋
Remember Cedric the caterpillar? Feel old yet? 🐛🦋
Every little, quite literally, does help ! Thanks @Tesco 🐛🦋
3/7 of the Tesco broccoli caterpillars are now wild butterflies 😭, this morning Janine joined Cedric and Slim Eric for her new life ✌️🥦🦋 (thought she’d at least say bye but she just bolted)
Just woke up from my cocoon and looks like lil Croc has just woke up from his cocoon too!?! MORNING 🥦🦋
Good morning to my new bestie Croc and my new bestie Croc only 🦋🥦 (he’s the one on the left)
OH MY WORD. Went for a run... (call me Mo Farah) GOT BACK AND THERE’S 3 BUTTERFLIES!!!! CROC HAS BEEN JOINED BY BROC AND OLLY!!!!!! 3!!!!!! 🦋🦋🦋
AN HONOUR to be on @BBCRadio2 with the legend @theJeremyVine discussing my caterpillars and releasing Broc and Olly live on air 🥦🐛 this is it, life’s peaked really
OH MY LIFE @RealMattLucas has followed me! A true blessing! Thank you baked potato!!!! 🥔🥦
It’s time for another of our caterpillar-now-butterfly kids to spread their wings. 🦋Broc was released live with Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 earlier (honestly what is that sentence🤩) so just before my show on @KissFMUK right now I’ve just released his best mate Olly🦋
Seeing as it’s a Thursday SHALL WE HAVE UNSEEN CATERPILLAR THROWBACK FOOTAGE!? (To 11 days ago) when Cedric was the only one who’d cocooned and I was getting weirdly attached to Broc and Olly 🐛🐛🐛🐛 #tbt
