About M&S Food
M&S Food sells almost nothing but its own label and pioneered the chilled ready meal in Britain in 1979. Its advertising, describing products in unusually sensuous detail, was parodied so widely that the parodies became part of the brand. Its Percy Pig sweets have become a brand in their own right, extending into other products in a way few supermarket own-label lines manage.
