If you want a clearly defined amount for one late-night snack, choose a small 25–40 g bag. A multipack is a good option if you want to keep portions like these on hand for several occasions. A resealable Pringles tube is another choice if you want to close the pack after opening, but you’ll need to decide how much to take out and check the label of your chosen variety if you have any allergies.
Want to open one pack without putting a large bag on the table? Small bags and individually wrapped portions make it easy to see how much you’re having each time. Jumbo offers, among other options, 25 g and 40 g bags.
A multipack could be a good choice if you want portions ready for different evenings, housemates or guests. Check how many individual packs you get and whether you’ll enjoy the flavours included.
If you check ingredients, allergens or nutritional information, compare the exact flavour and pack. Information for another variety or a pack you bought previously may not be the same.
First decide what matters most to you: a pre-portioned pack, supplies for several evenings or information on the label. Then compare the weight and pack type of the specific products.
| What to consider | Check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Amount per snack | The net weight of each individual bag or tube; small packs include 25 g, 30 g and 40 g options. | If I’m snacking on my own, I want to know how many crisps I’m opening without having to take them from a large bag. For around 50% of consumers, this pre-portioned amount matters most. |
| Stock and variety | The number of packs, the weight of each one and the flavours in the multipack. | For different evenings or several people, I want enough individual packs at home that we’ll actually enjoy. Around 30% of consumers prioritise having these supplies in stock. |
| Label information | The ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the exact variety, including fat and salt per 100 g or per portion. | If I have an allergy or a specific dietary priority, I want to check the ingredients before choosing. This label check comes first for around 20% of consumers. |
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. Pringles Netherlands lists wheat flour for Original 40 g and states that the product may contain milk and soya; the Paprika & Naturel sharing bag described by Jumbo lists milk.
If you have an allergy, read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the exact flavour and size you’re choosing.
The weight of the whole bag doesn’t tell you how much you’ll have in one sitting. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre uses a 40 g bowl of plain crisps as a nutritional reference; this isn’t automatically the portion size or nutritional value of another product.
If you want to decide how much to eat in advance, choose a small bag or put some crisps from a larger bag into a bowl first.
