Buying crisps seems simple until you have to choose between individual bags, tubes, multipacks and international flavours. A larger pack is not automatically better value if you only like one flavour. An unusual flavour name may also be less suitable if you need to consider allergens or prefer plain crisps.
With this practical buying guide, you can compare potato crisps by quantity, flavour, packaging, allergens and occasion. That way, you can make a more informed choice for home, travel, drinks or a party.
A 135 or 200 g bag may seem appealing, but a crisps multipack with smaller portions can be more convenient when several people want to try different flavours. For a party, a crisps box containing several small bags is often easier to hand out. Always check the total weight and number of packs, rather than just the size of the box.
Paprika crisps, barbecue crisps and spicy crisps can vary significantly from one product to another. A barbecue variety may taste sweet, smoky or more savoury and aromatic. International crisps, such as varieties with lime, grilled squid or cucumber, often differ considerably from familiar Dutch flavour profiles.
When in doubt, check the ingredients and flavour description. Also look out for words such as chilli, smoke flavouring, garlic, soya or mustard.
The product information states which allergens may be present. This is particularly important for crisps with cheese, cream, barbecue or seafood flavours. The range includes milk, wheat, gluten, soya, sesame, mustard and squid, among others. Always check the label on the packaging, as recipes and allergen information may change.
Nutritional values are usually listed per 100 g. This allows you to compare varieties more fairly in terms of energy, fat and salt, for example. It does not tell you which flavour you will prefer, but it can help you make a more considered choice.
Start by choosing your preferred flavour profile:
A ridged crisp can hold more seasoning and generally feels sturdier. A smooth crisp is often lighter and breaks more easily. The product description provides more information about this than the front of the packaging.
A bag is practical for sharing, but once opened, the crisps gradually lose their crunch. Seal an opened bag securely and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
A Pringles tube can be stacked and protects the crisps from breaking. Small bags in a mix box are convenient for school, the office, travel or a table with several guests. For multipacks, check whether the stated number of items also specifies the size of each bag.
For personal use, 70 to 90 g is often a manageable amount. A 135 to 200 g bag is more suitable for sharing between two or more people. Small packs are practical for parties, while a combination of large bags and tubes provides more variety on the table.
Also check the best-before date and the condition of the packaging. Do not use a product if its packaging is damaged. With imported varieties, the country of origin, language on the label and recipe may differ.
Why it suits this profile: This box contains 15 small packs of ridged paprika crisps, plain crisps and cheese-flavoured corn snacks. Beginners can therefore try several flavours without immediately buying several large bags.
The variety means you are not stuck with one large bag of an unfamiliar flavour. Do check the listed allergens: the mix contains milk and may contain gluten and soya.
15 portion packs; three different snack types; easy to take with you and store.
Why it suits this profile: The tube is ideal for anyone who values a distinctive shape, easy storage and packaging that is convenient to share. The sour cream and onion flavour is well suited to savoury drinks and nibbles.
The sturdy tube helps prevent breakage during storage and transport. Check the allergens before buying: the product contains milk and wheat and may contain soya.
165 g contents; resealable tube; suitable for sharing and travel.
Why it suits this profile: With 20 individual portions, this crisps box is designed for parties, meetings, student accommodation and stocking up for several snacking occasions.
The small packs mean that all the crisps do not have to be opened at once. The box contains several flavours, including paprika, plain and cheese. Check the label for milk and soya.
20 packs; a mix of potato and corn snacks; practical for groups and keeping in stock.

If you would like to try something different from standard paprika crisps, there are several flavour profiles to choose from:
Brand names and flavour descriptions are taken from the relevant product information. As a result, brands’ claims about recipes or product characteristics do not constitute an independent assessment. Always check the current packaging before buying.
A multipack or crisps box containing small bags is practical when guests want to help themselves to an individual portion. For more choice, you can also combine several individual bags, such as plain, paprika, barbecue and a spicy variety. Consider the number of people, the total weight and any allergens.
Store crisps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal an opened bag as securely as possible. A tube can help protect crisps from breaking, but it should also be closed properly. Check the packaging for exact storage instructions.
That depends on the ingredients and allergen information. International crisps may contain milk, soya, wheat, gluten, sesame, mustard or other allergens. Always read the UK label or the current product information before ordering. If in doubt, it is best not to use the product.
