Choose a large bag of crisps if the group will be snacking together and you expect to finish it in one go. Multipacks are better when people want to eat at different times, while a resealable tube is handy if you want to close the packaging between snacks and take it with you. If anyone has allergies, always check the label on the flavour and pack you choose.
If everyone will be helping themselves to crisps at the same time, one larger bag is easier to share than a stack of individual portions. Jumbo lists bags ranging from 250 to 335 g; choose the size based on how much the group wants to open for that snack break.
Individual packs are easier to hand out by person or occasion. Albert Heijn and Jumbo stock multipacks with different numbers of bags, so check the amount in each one as well as the pack count.
If anyone in your group needs to watch their ingredients or allergens, check the label for each flavour and pack separately. Don’t rely on the brand name or a product description you looked at earlier.
First, decide whether your group will be snacking together or at different times at the festival campsite. Then compare pack sizes and, where needed, check the label for each flavour.
Choose this if: several people will be sharing crisps at the tent and you expect to finish the bag quickly.
The trade-off: once opened, there are no individual portions for everyone to take.
Choose this if: group members want to take their own bag with them at different times.
The trade-off: you’ll be taking several individual packs, and the number of bags alone tells you little about the total amount of crisps.
Choose this if: you want to close the pack between snack breaks and take it with you. Albert Heijn describes the Pringles Original tube as resealable.
The trade-off: check the amount if you’re buying crisps for a whole group; the 165 g Pringles Original tube isn’t a large sharing bag.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount to share | Check the net weight of the bag and consider whether you’ll finish it during one snack break together. | If we’re snacking together at the tent, I want to be able to open one bag without dividing up the snacks beforehand. Around 42% of consumers prioritise having enough for everyone to share at once. |
| Individual portions | For a multipack, check the number of packs and the weight of each one, not just the size of the box. | When people in the group are eating at different times, I want to be able to give everyone their own pack. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having individual portions. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label for each flavour you choose, including any warnings about possible cross-contamination. | If someone in our group needs to watch their ingredients or allergens, I don’t want to assume every flavour is the same. For around 25% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
A sharing bag works well when you’re eating together, but it doesn’t divide the snacks into portions for different people or occasions.
Choose individual portions if group members won’t be snacking at the same time, and check how many bags are in the pack.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between flavours. Albert Heijn lists wheat and possible traces of milk and soya for Pringles Original; don’t assume the same applies to other flavours.
If anyone has allergies, check the current label on every pack the group plans to eat.
Whether you can bring crisps depends on the rules for the specific event and your ticket.
Check the latest venue rules before packing your snacks.
Jumbo stocks Lay's sharing bags ranging from 275 to 300 g, as well as multipacks of individual portions.
Albert Heijn describes the 165 g Pringles Original tube as resealable. Albert Heijn also stocks Pringles multipacks of individual portions.
Jumbo’s own-brand range includes plain crisps in 250 g bags and plain ridged crisps in 335 g bags.
These packs suit two ways of snacking at the festival campsite: opening one bag to share or dividing individual crisps and snacks between people and occasions. For mixed boxes, check which varieties and quantities you want to take with you.

A large bag is a good choice if several people will be snacking together at the festival campsite and you expect to finish it quickly. If the group will be eating at different times, individual bags are easier to hand out; compare the number of bags and the amount in each one.
A resealable Pringles Original tube can be handy if you want to close the pack between snack breaks; Albert Heijn describes it as resealable. If you want to share with the whole group at once, compare its size with a larger bag first.
Use the online description to compare products, but read the label on the flavour and pack you’ve bought before eating it. Ingredients and allergen information can vary or change between products.
At the very least, check the net quantity and, if ingredients or allergens matter to your choice, the relevant information on the label. Business.gov.nl lists allergens, net quantity and nutritional value as details required on labels for pre-packed food in the Netherlands; check the information on the specific pack you buy.
