For a post-workout snack to share, a 250–300 g bag of paprika crisps works well if the group is sharing straight away; choose individual bags if you want to portion them out in advance. Compare the price per kilogram, number of portions, nutritional information and allergens for the pack you choose. The Jumbo multipack reviewed also contains ready salted crisps and lists milk as an allergen; seal a large bag tightly if there are any crisps left over.
If everyone is snacking at the same time, you can share one bag without portioning it out in advance. The Jumbo and Lay's bags reviewed list around eight and ten portions respectively; check whether that suits your group.
If the cost of a group snack is a key consideration, compare the price per kilogram of the packs you're considering. Don't judge by pack size or brand alone, and check the price when you buy.
If you want to take salt, fat or allergens into account, read the nutritional information and ingredients list on the exact bag. The paprika crisps reviewed have different listed salt levels; the Jumbo product reviewed lists milk as an allergen.
Choose this pack if: the group is sharing at the same time and you want to take one bag with you.
Bear in mind: seal any crisps left over after opening the bag to help keep them as crunchy as possible.
Choose this pack if: you want to hand out the bags to members of the group or put them in sports bags in advance.
Bear in mind: the Jumbo multipack reviewed contains seven bags of paprika crisps and eight bags of ready salted crisps, not just paprika.

A larger pack doesn't automatically work out cheaper per kilogram.
Compare the price per kilogram and net weight of the bags available to buy at the time.
If the bag is left open after sharing, the crisps may lose some of their crunch.
Choose a size that suits the group eating together. Seal any leftover crisps tightly and store them somewhere cool, dry and dark, as advised by the Voedingscentrum.

A 250–300 g bag is an option if the group is sharing the crisps straight away. Use the number of portions on the pack as a guide, not a strict rule: the 250 g Jumbo bag reviewed lists around eight portions, while the 300 g Lay's bag reviewed lists ten.
Seal the bag tightly and store the crisps somewhere cool, dry and dark, rather than leaving them open in your sports bag. According to the Voedingscentrum, opened crisps can be stored in a kitchen cupboard for two to five days, although they may lose some of their crunch.
No. A larger size doesn't necessarily mean a lower price per kilogram. Compare the price per kilogram of the bags you're considering when you buy, and also work out how much the group needs.
Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack you buy. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority highlights the need for allergen information on food labels; don't assume the ingredients are the same as those in another flavour, bag size or previous purchase.
