Tyrrells Chips Quietly Vanish from Aussie Supermarkets, Leaving Fans Gutted
So, if you’ve been wandering the chip aisle lately and something feels... off, you’re not imagining things. Tyrrells – you know, those hand-cooked, super crunchy, kinda posh potato chips – have quietly disappeared from Woolworths, Coles, and even IGA shelves across Australia. No warning, no clearance tags, no “last chance to buy” signs. Just gone. And people are not happy.

It all started when someone on Reddit noticed they couldn’t find their usual Tyrrells fix and shared the sad news. From there, it kind of spiraled into a mini outrage. Comments like “WHAT! OUTRAGE! They were the only chips I bought” and “That’s absolutely unacceptable” flooded the thread. Others went full pun-mode, calling it “Tyrell-ble.”
Turns out, the reason behind the vanishing act is pretty straightforward, if not a little heartbreaking. Snackbrands Australia, the company behind Tyrrells here, confirmed the chips have been pulled from major supermarket chains due to low consumer demand. Apparently, not enough people were buying them to justify the shelf space. In a statement, the company explained they always try to meet customer needs, but tough calls sometimes have to be made to balance what shoppers want and what stores can support.
The decision didn’t go down well with loyal fans, especially considering Tyrrells were made in Australia using local potatoes since 2016, after the brand was acquired and manufacturing was moved from the UK to Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Many felt the quality stayed strong, even though some mentioned they missed the original UK-made versions. A few Redditors also pointed to unpopular changes like the shift to crinkle-cut only, and the disappearance of favorite flavors like salt and vinegar and sweet chili, which might’ve played a role in the decline.
The silver lining? Tyrrells haven’t disappeared entirely. You might still spot them at Harris Farm, a few IGAs, 7-Eleven, or even The Reject Shop. Some fans are still getting them through Amazon too. And if you’re truly desperate, there’s always that one generous Redditor who offered to post some bags to fellow chip mourners.
Snackbrands is encouraging fans to check out their other products under the Kettle and Natural Chip Company lines. But let’s be honest – when you’ve found your chip soulmate, settling for a “similar vibe” just doesn’t cut it.
So yeah, it’s the end of an era – or at least a salty, crunchy chapter of it.
