BURGER giant Hungry Jack’s is releasing a chip packet it claims scares off seagulls.

The “Pack That Scares Gulls” is “made from a silver reflective material featuring an eye-catching design and allows the sun to reflect off the pack”.

This creates “an optical distraction that deters seagulls in a harmless manner”, publicity material says.

“We felt compelled to offer our customers better solutions ... and arm them with protection from seagulls,” a company spokesman said.

The packs will only be available for a limited time in select coastal stores.
