Sydney, AUSTRALIA – In a move that has left many snack enthusiasts disappointed, Coles and Woolworths have pulled Tyrrell’s chips from their shelves due to insufficient consumer demand.
The decision, confirmed by Snack Brands, the manufacturer of Tyrrell’s, has sparked an outpouring of disappointment from fans who relied on the chip brand for their go-to snack.
The absence of Tyrrell’s chips from major supermarkets was first noticed by eagle-eyed shoppers on social media, with many expressing their dismay at the sudden disappearance.
According to Snack Brands, the decision was made due to insufficient consumer demand, despite the loyal following the brand had built over the years.
While fans may no longer be able to find Tyrrell’s chips at Coles, Woolworths, and IGA, they can still be spotted at independent retailers such as Harris Farm, some IGAs, 7-Elevens, The Reject Shop, and online outlets like Amazon, while supplies last.
Some fans have expressed their disappointment, citing changes in the product’s taste and texture after manufacturing moved from the UK to Australia, as well as discontinuation of their favourite flavours or the original cut style.
Snack Brands has assured fans that they continue to innovate under their Kettle and Natural Chip Company brands, offering alternative options for those seeking a new favourite snack.
For those who have seen their beloved snacks come and go, this serves as a reminder to enjoy them while they can and perhaps even stock up when on special.
