Looking to buy Lay's crisps for a film night, drinks with friends or a party? The choice might seem simple, but packs can differ quite a bit in flavour, size, texture and nutritional values. A large bag isn't always practical for one person, while a smaller bag may not be ideal for sharing.
When choosing Lay's potato crisps, don't just go by the colour of the packaging or a temporary Lay's crisps offer. Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for:
For a single snacking occasion, bags of 40 to 70 grams are a manageable size. For drinks with friends or a birthday party, packs of 150 to 300 grams make more sense. Check the stated number of portions, too. For example, the 300-gram bag of Lay's Paprika lists around ten portions, while several 185-gram bags of Lay's Max are suitable for sharing between a few people.
If you're buying Lay's crisps online, it's worth comparing the price per 100 grams. A multipack, such as Lay's Sensations Thai Sweet Chili 10 x 40 grams, can be handy for portioning, but compare its total contents with those of a 150-gram bag.
Always compare like for like. The regular varieties in this selection contain around 489 to 517 kcal per 100 grams. The oven-baked varieties list around 440 to 442 kcal and 13 grams of fat per 100 grams. According to the product information, these varieties are described as having 50% less fat than regular crisps. This is a product specification from the stated product information, not a general nutritional assessment.
Check the salt and sugar content, too. The 200-gram bag of Lay's Patatje Joppie lists 0.61 grams of salt per 100 grams, while Lay's Max Smoky Paprika lists 1.2 grams. The differences may seem small, but they matter when you're serving several portions.
The ingredients list matters more than the flavour image on the packaging. Here are some examples from the range:
Always check the packaging when your order arrives. Recipes, allergen information and best-before dates can vary by product or market. It's especially wise to read the label on products from overseas, such as some of the 70-gram varieties.
Why it suits this shopper: The familiar paprika flavour and generous pack size make it a good choice for a casual get-together at home or an evening with a few people.
The 300-gram pack size makes it clear that this is a sharing bag. The product information also lists none of the 14 main EU allergens.
300 grams; 503 kcal and 0.65 grams of salt per 100 grams, according to the product information.
Why it suits this shopper: The combination of cheese and onion is a good choice for a savoury get-together where guests can share the same flavour.
The product information clearly lists 6 to 7 portions and milk as an allergen. This makes it easier to choose a pack size that suits the number of guests.
200 grams; 506 kcal and 0.95 grams of salt per 100 grams. According to the product information, it contains no artificial colours or preservatives, or added flavour enhancers.
Why it suits this shopper: This variety is a good choice if you're after a simple, salty flavour and want to compare the oven-baked range with regular Lay's potato crisps.
The product information lists both the portion size of 5 to 6 servings and the nutritional values per 100 grams. That way, “oven baked” isn't the only information to guide your choice.
150 grams; 13 grams of fat and 442 kcal per 100 grams. According to the product information, it contains none of the 14 main EU allergens.
We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
Store each bag in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Seal opened bags tightly and, for the best crunch, try to finish the crisps within a few days. It's best not to use packaging that is damaged or badly swollen.
For a group, bags of 185 to 300 grams are practical, such as Lay's Paprika 300 grams or Lay's Cheese Onion 200 grams. If you'd like to portion them out in advance, Lay's Sensations Thai Sweet Chili 10 x 40 grams is a handier option.
Compare the price per 100 grams and check the total contents. A lower price per bag doesn't automatically mean better value if the bag is also considerably smaller. Check the best-before date and condition of the packaging, too.
According to the supplied product information, Oven Baked varieties contain 13 grams of fat and around 440 kcal per 100 grams. Regular varieties contain around 27 to 33 grams of fat and 503 to 517 kcal per 100 grams. Flavour, texture and ingredients vary by variety, so read the label before ordering Lay's crisps.
