Coles AI Glitch Causes Beer Bonanza | Sydney News

A Reddit user stumbled upon a wild Coles online glitch: 24-packs of booze slashed to nearly 80% off, making them cheaper than single bottles. The price-tracking site CW Scanner shared it, sparking 180K views and real orders—some even matched at local stores. But chaos hit when Coles’ site crashed, canceled orders, and vanished beer sections before rebooting. A spokesperson blamed a technical glitch, saying select 24-packs were mispriced due to an AI error—possibly a search mix-up. Customers will get refunds, while CW Scanner suspects the AI misread “4-packs” as “24-packs.” One Smirnoff pack dropped from $200 to $29. It’s a wild case of how fast online rumors spread, how fragile tech can be, and how AI can accidentally create massive savings—or disasters.
