If you fancy a few small chocolate cookies now and then while you’re out and about, a resealable bag is handy, as long as you seal it properly after use. For a group sharing a tent, multipacks with a set number of cookies are easier to share out. Check how many cookies are actually in each pack: ‘mini’ doesn’t mean that every cookie is individually wrapped.
A bag of small cookies is a good choice if you want to grab a few between performances and keep the rest at the campsite. With a resealable bag, you decide how many to take and need to seal the pack properly again afterwards.
Pre-portioned packs are handy when several people want to take a sealed portion each. Check both the number of packs and the number of cookies in each one; a multipack doesn’t necessarily contain single-cookie portions.
When choosing a specific variety, check the allergen information and storage advice on the packaging. Product pages for these cookies mention milk, cereals containing gluten and soya, among other ingredients. Check the label on the product you buy.
Choose this if: you want to enjoy a few cookies throughout the day and put the rest away again.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to portion out the contents yourself; a stated serving size doesn’t mean the cookies are individually wrapped.
Choose this if: everyone in your group wants to take a sealed pack.
Bear in mind: one pack may contain several cookies, so check whether that amount suits your planned snack break.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing your own portions | Compare the serving size on the label with the number of cookies in each individual pack, if applicable. | If I’m heading out on my own, I want to be able to grab a few small cookies without taking the whole pack with me. For around 31% of consumers, choosing their own portions comes first. |
| Taking them along and storing them | Check how the packaging seals after opening and follow the storage advice for the specific product. | Between the campsite and the festival site, I want to keep my snacks sealed and avoid leaving them in a warm or damp tent. Around 25% of consumers give storage and portability top priority. |
| Sharing with a group | Count the sealed packs and the number of cookies in each, not just the total weight. | In our tent group, I want to be able to give everyone a pack without having to share out loose cookies. This is the main reason for buying for around 25% of consumers. |
| Allergens and labelling | Read the allergen information and any warnings on the packaging of the specific variety. | If the ingredients matter to me or someone in the group, I want to check the right packaging before we set off. For around 19% of consumers, checking the label comes first. |
