supermarket
shelves without warning.
UK
-born snack brand Tyrrells has been pulled from
Woolworths
,
Coles
and IGA stores, without an official announcement.
The change was spotted by a frustrated Reddit user who posted about it last Thursday.
'Gone from their shelves without warning or even clearance tags. Didn't even get a chance to stock up,' the user wrote.
'These were f****** good, made in Australia with Aussie potatoes, and at $3.80 for 165g. Price does what it says, without stupid price hikes and fake offers.'
Other users echoed the disappointment.
'WHAT! OUTRAGE! They were the only chips I bought,' one comment read.
'These are the king of chips and I am heartbroken,' another said.
'Damn, that's really disappointing. They were the best chips on the shelves,' a third added.
'Absolutely unacceptable. These are the only good chips,' someone else chimed in.
'That's tyrell-ble,' another joked.
Snackbrands Australia, the maker of Tyrrells, confirmed the brand has been discontinued due to low demand.
'We always aim to bring delicious snacks to our consumers in line with their needs, however we sadly had to retire the Tyrrells brand from market due to insufficient levels of consumer demand,' the company said in a statement.
'We realise that there will always be true lovers of the brand out there however we need to balance the requirements of our consumers as well as our retail partners when making these tough decisions.'
Both Coles and Woolworths confirmed to 7NEWS.com.au they are no longer stocking Tyrrells chips.
7NEWS.com.au has also reached out to IGA for confirmation.
Snackbrands said Tyrrells will still be available 'for the foreseeable future' in some Harris Farm stores, and suggested fans try their other products.
'The good news is that we continue to innovate and offer great alternatives under our Kettle and Natural Chip Company brands,' a spokesperson added.
Tyrrells chips can still be found on
Amazon
, with nine 165g bags of the classic Pot Crispy Salted flavour currently available for $15.86.
Some Reddit users reported spotting a few bags at 7-Eleven and The Reject Shop.
Tyrrells, originally founded on a farm in Herefordshire, England in 2002, is known for its hand-cooked, premium potato chips made from locally grown ingredients.
The brand entered the Australian market in 2014, initially importing products from the UK.
From 2016, following its acquisition of Yarra Valley Snack Foods, Tyrrells chips were made locally in
Victoria
using Australian potatoes.

ASX set to slide as Wall Street slumps on Trump tariffs, jobs shock
The US stock market had its worst day since May on Friday after the government reported a sharp slowdown in hiring and President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from a number of US trading partners. The S&P 500 fell 1.6 per cent, its biggest decline since May 21 and its fourth straight loss. The index also posted a 2.4 per cent loss for the week, marking a sharp shift from last week's record-setting streak of gains. The Dow Jones fell 1.2 per cent, while the Nasdaq composite fell 2.2 per cent. The Australian sharemarket is set to retreat, with futures pointing to a slide of 32 points, or 0.4 per cent, at the open. The Australian dollar was fetching 64.63 US cents at 5.19am AEST. Worries on Wall Street about a weakening economy were heavily reinforced by the latest report on job growth in the US Employers added just 73,000 jobs in July. That is sharply lower than economists expected. The Labor Department also reported that revisions shaved a stunning 258,000 jobs off May and June payrolls. Markets also reacted to the latest tariff news. President Donald Trump announced tariff rates on dozens of countries and pushed back the scheduled effective date to August 7, adding more uncertainty to the global trade picture. 'The market has been felled by a one-two punch of additional tariffs, as well as the weaker-than-expected employment data -— not only for this month, but for the downward revisions to the prior months,' said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. Loading Trump's decision to order the immediate firing of the head of the government agency that produces the monthly jobs figures will only fuel the market's uncertainty, Stovall added. The surprisingly weak hiring numbers led investors to step up their expectations for an interest rate cut in September. The market's odds of a quarter-point cut by the Federal Reserve rose to around 87 per cent from just under 40 per cent a day earlier, according to data from CME FedWatch.

Caleb Bond: Forcing EVs on Australia's 4,000km terrain is just impractical - much like ripping up roads so two men and a dog in a sidecar can use a bike lane
You won't believe it but Australian cities are apparently some of the worst in the world for the ease of owning an electric vehicle. What a rotten bit of luck. This is according to consumer comparison service Compare the Market, which assessed global cities against the number of chargers, EVs and sales per capita, government incentives and the cost of power. The top 10 cities are, surprise surprise, all in Europe save for Montreal and the top three are all in the Netherlands. What could it be that makes EVs so much more popular in Europe than Australia? Oh, that's right – our country is nearly 4,000km wide and our capital cities have significant urban sprawl. In fact, our cities rank amongst the largest urban sprawls in the world per head of population. That, of course, is because we live in a big country with plenty of space so most of us choose not to live on top of each other – unlike those tiny European countries where that's just how things are done. Who would have thought that smaller countries, which naturally mean you have less distance to travel on a regular basis, would be more conducive to owning an EV? It has become blindingly obvious that the reduction in Australian EV sales is simply the result of market forces. It's not that people have anything particularly against electric vehicles themselves, they just want cars that are practical in a big country like Australia. If you only drive around the city then sure, you might be fine. But a lot of people don't. And it's ridiculous to expect a charger to be available everywhere in this wide brown land. Australia is not built to be an EV country in the same way it's not built to be a cycling country. The government can try to force EVs upon us with subsidies or whatever else they can dream up but, at some point, practicalities have to enter the equation. Just as councils can try to force us to ride bikes instead of driving cars by continually ripping out perfectly good lanes of traffic to replace them with sheltered bike lanes used by two men and a dog in a sidecar. Despite building all these bike lanes, nearly all of them are empty most of the time. I wonder why that might be? Oh, yes – we have that massive urban sprawl which means most people live a fair way from the CBD and find it far more comfortable to travel to town by car or public transport. It is no coincidence that the country recognised to be one of the most cycling-friendly in the world – the Netherlands – is also ranked the best for EVs. You can't force a square peg into a round hole. We just need to admit it. But we also mustn't forget the other great barrier to Australian EV ownership – the trifling issue of having to fill it up with electricity which, as I'm sure you know, is quite expensive. We have some of the most expensive electricity in the world, in fact. If only Albo gave us that $275 he promised us off our power bills, maybe it'd be a different story. Caleb Bond is the Host of The Sunday Showdown, Sundays at 7.00pm and co-host of The Late Debate Monday – Thursday at 10.00pm as well as a Contributor. Bond also writes a weekly opinion column for The Advertiser
