Australian brands are tame on Valentine's Day in comparison to some of our global counterparts.

Burger King Israel, for example, has gone to the extent of offering a limited edition adults-only meal box.

The 'Valentine's Adult's Meal' packaging, which echoes its range of kids' meals, is only for those over 18 and includes two Whoppers, two boxes of French fries, two beers, and a feather duster, blindfold, or head massager.  

In a promotion, the chain said:

"Kids have got their ‘Kid’s Meal’ but what about grown-ups? Shouldn’t they have their own meal too? At least on Valentine’s?”

Mars has also celebrated the occasion, albeit in a less saucy way, by issuing this special edition Snickers bar for 14 February.

Building towards its next phase of growth, Bush’s Proteins has bolstered its team with the appointment of John Edgley as chief development officer and Aaron Yule as head of people.

Alcohol has long been part of Australia’s social and cultural fabric, but today’s consumers are taking a more intentional approach. Rather than simply drinking less, many are becoming more deliberate about the role they want each drink to play, choosing beverages that best suit the moment and the experience they want to create. ADM’s APAC Beverages marketing director, Sarah Lim, writes.

While The a2 Milk Company (a2MC) grew revenue 12.4 per cent to $1.97 billion in FY26, its reported EBITDA and net profit both went backwards due to stock issues in Q4 with its China label infant formula driving consumers to switch brands.
