Buying snacks online seems simple, but the wide range of options can make choosing difficult. Looking for crisps for a film night, sweets to share or savoury snacks for a party? Then taste is not the only thing to consider. Packaging, portion size, allergens and shelf life all help determine whether your purchase is right for the occasion.
The following pitfalls are common:
A 55 to 90-gram bag may be enough for one or two people. For drinks, a birthday or a film night with several people, packs of 160 to 220 grams are more practical. Products with individual portions, such as the Look-O-Look Top Mix with ten small packs, make sharing easier.
Pay attention to the closure too. A tube such as the one used for Pringles protects the shape of the crisps better after opening than an open bag, while resealable packaging can be useful when you are out and about. No packaging keeps snacks fresh indefinitely: close the pack properly and follow the storage advice on the label.
Ridged crisps and wavy crisps have a thicker, firmer texture than standard potato crisps. They are ideal with dips or when you want a satisfying crunch with your drinks. Examples include Lay’s Max Joppie, Lay’s Big Wave and Epixs Wave Chips BBQ.
If you would rather try a different base, you can choose:
For international flavours, also check the country of origin and the full ingredients list. A flavour such as grilled squid or Hot Mexican Chili & Lime may differ from what you are used to in Dutch versions.
The product page will generally list allergens, but the packaging supplied with your order remains the definitive source. For example, Lay’s Grilled Squid lists wheat, soya, milk, sesame and molluscs. Lay’s Cheese Onion contains milk, while Lay’s Max Joppie contains mustard. Go-Tan Poppadums list, among other things, cereals containing gluten, soya, wheat and peanuts.
Also compare the nutritional values per 100 grams. This allows you to compare packs fairly. According to the product information provided, Lay’s Cheese Onion contains 506 kcal and 0.95 grams of salt per 100 grams. Pringles Hot Mexican Chili & Lime lists 523 kcal and 0.6 grams of salt per 100 grams. These are verifiable product details, not a judgement on whether a product is suitable for a particular eating pattern.
The right snack depends on who is eating, how many people you are expecting and which flavours you want to combine. This selection is based on size, product type, flavour description and listed ingredients.
Why it suits this profile: The 200-gram pack is suitable for sharing during a film night or informal drinks. The familiar cheese and onion flavour makes it an accessible choice when you are ordering crisps online for the first time.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose several small packs or combine different sizes. Look-O-Look Top Mix is convenient for individual portions. For savoury snacks online, you could combine classic potato crisps with BBQ crisps, spicy crisps, poppadums and a fish snack. This gives you more variety in flavour and texture.
Store snacks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat and moisture. Seal an opened bag as well as possible and consume the contents according to the instructions on the packaging. Crisps mainly lose their crunch when exposed to air and moisture.
Check the country of origin, the Dutch product information and the allergen list. For example, Lay’s Grilled Squid lists squid; some other Asian snacks may contain soya, wheat, milk, sesame or peanuts. Always check the label, especially when buying snacks for a group.
