Percy Pigs are pig-shaped confectionery made by Marks & Spencer. They are a traditional sweet in the United Kingdom and have been around for many years, whilst the original derivation of the Percy Pig is unknown, sources suggest it has been around since before the First World War when it was sold for less than a penny[citation needed]. Later in the 1940s it joined a classic combination of penny sweets and became a modern day classic.

Other variations are now in existence, including one with more flavours known as "Percy Pig & Pals". In some areas, outside of Marks & Spencer, they are known as "Farm Pennies" reflecting a past of being sold for less than a penny.
