For a neighbourhood get-together with several guests, a 330 g pack is a sensible starting point. PLUS describes its blue-and-white version in this size as containing around 22 portions, but how much you need depends on how you serve it. Celebration sprinkles are a good choice if you don’t want a pink-and-white or blue-and-white baby theme, while a 270 g pack is worth considering for a smaller group or if you’re serving other toppings too. Check the ingredients and allergens on the label before serving.

| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and leftovers | Compare the net weight of 270 g and 330 g with the portion size on the label and the other toppings you’re serving. | If I want to add aniseed sprinkles to several snacks, I need enough without having lots left over. For around 40% of consumers, the amount in the pack would be the main consideration. |
| Colour and occasion | Choose between celebration sprinkles and a pink-and-white or blue-and-white version to suit the theme of your get-together. | For an everyday neighbourhood get-together, I don’t want the colour to suggest a baby theme unintentionally. Around 30% of consumers would put colour first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Before serving, read the ingredients and allergens on the current label. For the versions mentioned, look out for wheat and cereals containing gluten. | If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what I’m offering them. For around 30% of consumers, checking the label would be the top priority. |
