Choose individual bags if you want each participant to take home a sealed portion after the hunt. Compare the number of bags, the amount in each one and the flavours in the pack. Small bags suit a smaller group, while crisps from a sharing bag will need to be portioned out afterwards. Check the allergens on the exact packaging before handing them out.
You want to be able to count out a sealed portion for each child, so you don’t have to share out an open bag during the Easter egg hunt. If you’re comparing multipacks, check the flavours too: a pack of several bags might not contain only paprika crisps.
For a few participants, you could consider buying individual small bags. Count how many you’ll need in advance, and if you’re choosing a variety pack, make sure you pick the paprika crisps you want.
If you’re handing out snacks to a group, the information on the exact packaging matters more than the flavour name alone. Paprika snacks from different brands may list different ingredients and allergens.
Choose this if: each child will take home a sealed bag and you want to count out the portions in advance.
Keep in mind: a multipack may contain different flavours, so not every bag will be paprika crisps.
Choose this if: you want to take individual bags for a small group.
Keep in mind: you’ll need to gather enough bags yourself and, with a paprika-or-plain variety, check which flavour you’re choosing.
Choose this if: the group will eat crisps together after the hunt and you can portion them out then.
Keep in mind: a sharing bag doesn’t provide individual sealed portions to hand out.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the bags, check the weight per bag and make sure they all contain paprika crisps. | If each child gets a sealed snack after the hunt, I want to be sure there are enough bags of paprika crisps. For around 36% of consumers, having a countable individual portion is the top priority. |
| Quantity and leftovers | Compare the total amount with the number of participants and decide whether you’ll hand out individual bags or portion the crisps yourself. | For a small group, I don’t want to bring more crisps than we can use; around 29% of consumers prioritise avoiding unnecessary leftovers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavour and pack variant. | If I’m handing out snacks to others, I need to check which ingredients are relevant to them first. This is the main consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Shape and occasion | Consider whether you want regular crisps, ridged crisps or a snack in a different shape, and when the group will eat them. | If we’re snacking together after the hunt, I want to choose a shape that suits the occasion; this is the biggest consideration for around 14% of consumers. |
According to ALDI, a sharing pack of 15 bags may also contain plain crisps and Bugles Nacho Cheese. The total number of bags won’t tell you how many portions of paprika crisps you have.
Check the flavour mix, and only choose one if the other flavours suit your group too.
A large bag and a multipack aren’t equally easy to hand out: with the large bag, you’ll need to portion the crisps yourself.
First decide how many sealed bags you need, or plan how you’ll serve the crisps from a sharing bag afterwards.
You may need bowls or napkins for a sharing bag, and someone will need to portion out the crisps.
