Office buyers who want to hand out individual portions
With individual bags, every colleague can grab their own snack. For example, Jumbo lists Lay's Paprika crisps in a pack of 20 x 40 g.
Which pack is right for you?
Teams who want paprika flavour only
Check the flavours included in each multipack. The Lay's multipack listed by ALDI also contains Ready Salted and Bugles Nacho Cheese, as well as paprika.
Buyers serving crisps to share
A large bag of paprika crisps could be a good choice if you’re serving them in a bowl. You’ll need to decide how much to serve and how colleagues can help themselves.
What should you consider when choosing?
First, decide whether everyone needs their own bag or whether you’ll serve the crisps to share. If you opt for individual bags, check the flavour mix too. Before sharing, read the information on the packaging.
Individual bags of paprika crisps
Choose these if: everyone needs to be able to grab their own bag and every portion must be paprika flavour.
Bear in mind: the number of bags and the amount in each one need to suit your team.
Mixed-flavour multipack
Choose this if: colleagues would like flavours other than paprika too.
Bear in mind: not everyone will get paprika crisps.
Large bag of paprika crisps
Choose this if: you’re putting the crisps in one place for the team to share.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to manage the portions and serving arrangements yourself.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Count the bags and check the weight of each one. | I want colleagues to be able to grab their own snack without serving it themselves. Individual portions are the top priority for around 44% of consumers. |
| Paprika flavour only | Read the full list of flavours in the multipack. | If the team is expecting paprika crisps, I don’t want to hand out bags in other flavours. This flavour certainty is the deciding factor for around 33% of consumers. |
| Enough for the team | Compare the total contents and decide whether you’ll hand out individual bags or serve the portions yourself. | For a shared snack, I want to put out enough crisps and decide how much goes on the table at a time. The amount needed matters most to around 23% of consumers. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack contains only paprika crisps
The Lay's multipack listed by ALDI also contains Ready Salted and Bugles Nacho Cheese. So you can’t assume every bag in the pack is paprika flavour.
Read the full list of flavours if every colleague needs to be able to have paprika crisps.
-
Skipping the label on the flavour you’ve chosen
Ingredients and allergens vary by product. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority states that allergens must be listed on the label of prepacked foods.
Check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually going to share, especially if any colleagues have food allergies.
-
Assuming an in-store product is also available to order online
Lidl describes Snack Day Paprika crisps as an in-store-only product. This means how you do your office shopping could affect whether this is the right choice.
Before you shop, check whether the pack you want is available through your chosen retailer.
Brands to consider
Lay's
Jumbo lists Lay's paprika crisps in large bags and in individual bags of 20 x 40 g.

Snack Day
Lidl lists Snack Day Paprika crisps as an in-store product.
- An option to look for when you’re shopping for paprika crisps.

Frequently asked questions
Are all the bags in a paprika multipack paprika flavour?
No, a multipack can contain several flavours. The Lay's multipack listed by ALDI contains paprika, Ready Salted and Bugles Nacho Cheese, so read the full list of flavours if every portion needs to be paprika.
What should I check for allergens when sharing crisps in the office?
Check the label on the exact pack you’re serving. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergens must be listed on the label of prepacked foods. Don’t rely on the brand name or flavour alone.
What information should I compare on packs of paprika crisps?
Before handing them out, compare the number of bags, the amount in each bag and the flavours listed. Also read the ingredients, allergen and nutritional information on the pack you’ve chosen. This will help you decide whether everyone gets their own portion of paprika crisps or whether you’ll need to portion out a large bag yourself.
Can I use the nutritional values for a bowl of crisps for every brand?
No, use the nutrition table on the packaging for the specific product. Voedingscentrum gives a figure of 214 kcal for a 40 g bowl of assorted crisps. This doesn’t automatically apply to a bag or portion from the brand you’re buying.
