‘Tyrell-ble': Beloved chip brand Tyrrells pulled from major Australian supermarkets due to low demand
Australians have been caught off guard by the quiet disappearance of a beloved chip brand from 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.'

Ansett Australia revived as AI-powered online travel agency by Melbourne tech entrepreneur after its trademark lapsed
An iconic Australian airline that went under about 25 years ago has returned for travellers, but will not be flying passengers around this time. Former carrier Ansett Australia has been revived as an AI-powered travel agency by Melbourne-based tech entrepreneur Constantine Frantzeskos. He said the new version of Ansett is designed as a personalised travel concierge which will make predictive trip recommendations and plans based on customers' preferences. 'This will be a travel agent that understands you, your family, your needs, your budget and where you've been. That's the vision,' Mr Frantzeskos told The Age. Ansett's brand was revived as the old airline 'stood for something Australians still value: innovation, trust, and great service", according to the new travel website. Mr Frantzeskos said trademark for the former carrier had lapsed and the domain name was up for grabs. He said despite the airline's bleak collapse, where 16,000 jobs were lost, many Aussies could still appreciate the nostalgia behind the brand. 'It's a shame it went away, but I think that brand voice is still compelling, and people have nostalgia for it,' Mr Frantzeskos said. 'Just because the corporate entity behind something didn't work doesn't mean that the brand still doesn't mean something. When I mention what I'm doing to people, they get a big smile on their face.' The revived version of Ansett - which will compete against major online travel agencies such as Expedia, and Webjet - has stressed it uses AI to organise pricing and schedule trips. 'This is Ansett, reimagined for the way we live and travel now,' Ansett's website reads. 'We don't just show you endless options — we personalise your travel journey from the first click. 'We use AI to surface the best prices, strip out the noise, and recommend what actually matters to you. 'You won't find generic upsells or bait pricing here — just smart, fast, near-wholesale deals.' Ansett flew Aussies around the country and overseas for 65 years and was the second ranked airline to Qantas before it was grounded.
