Allen's surprises shoppers with major announcement: 'OMG I need it'
Australian confectionery brand Allen's has surprised fans by releasing a new treat. Shoppers can now get their hands on the Allen's 'Ripperz Remix' - a new twist that blends the iconic Red Ripperz with apple and grape flavours The new lollies have hit shelves at all major supermarkets for $5. Many have expressed their excitement over the new treats, with one saying: 'OMG I need to hunt these down.' 'Wow! Very keen to try,' another shared. Nestlé Head of Marketing Confectionery Shannon Wright said: 'Allen's cult classics are cherished by Aussies, so we're bringing a fresh, flavourful and chewy 'remix' to our beloved Ripperz. 'We think Aussies are going to love this fresh new take with its delicious apple and grape flavours.' Comedian Matt Hey shared his approval of the new flavour combo, saying: 'These new flavours are serving remix realness, and I'm here for it. 'I've always loved the classic raspberry flavour - especially that chewy, juicy goodness - so I can't wait for Aussies to get their hands on juicy Apple and intense Grape.' About 31 per cent of Allen's fans prefer chewy lollies, making the latest product the perfect way to satisfy those wanting a long-lasting chew. Earlier this year Allen's decided to change the most controversial confection in its iconic Snakes Alive mix, which sent shockwaves through the lolly-loving community. Sweet-toothed Aussies have spent years turning their nose up at the orange snake, which is widely regarded as the least popular flavour in the bag. But the biggest scandal came when comedian and self-proclaimed lolly aficionado Tanya Hennessey exposed a shocking truth - the orange snake wasn't even orange-flavoured at all, it was apricot. After wide-spread outrage, Allen's has finally revealed the new flavour: passionfruit. It will join the roster of strawberry, blackberry, lemon, and pineapple flavours.

Influencers sport iconic Aussie uniform at Coachella
Two Aussie influencers have stepped out at weekend two of Coachella sporting a very different kind of festival look — a Bunnings uniform. Fayt the Label founder Brittney Saunders and comedian Matt Hey revealed the unmistakable green and red ensemble in a get ready video posted to Instagram. The long-term friends — who host the High Scrollers podcast together — were unsure if the unconventional outfit choice would land with American festival-goers. 'Overall feeling great, but don't know if this is going to be even funny,' Saunders said as the pair posed in their branded red polo shirts, dark green aprons and brimmed hats. 'Hopefully all the Aussies will spot us because everyone is else is going to be like do they actually work here or something?' But fellow Aussies praised the duo's take on the festival fit, labelling it an 'iconic' move. 'This is hilarious and iconic at the same time!! You guys are absolute legends, good on ya!' one follower said. 'This wins best Coachella outfit,' another declared. The pair even won-over the hardware giant: 'ICONIC,' Bunnings Warehouse commented. Music greats including Lady Gaga, Green Day, Travis Scott, and Post Malone headlined the annual festival's second weekend.
