Choose individually wrapped pairs of syrup waffles if you want to hand out sealed portions while travelling. A large sharing pack works when everyone is eating from the same pack, or if you’re dividing up portions at home. Mini syrup waffles are an option for smaller snack breaks, but they don’t necessarily come in individual packs. Check the label on the variety you choose, too, and consider what you’ll do with an opened pack and the packaging waste.
If you want to hand out sealed portions to fellow travellers, check whether the waffles in the multipack are individually wrapped. Jumbo lists Kanjers as a pack of 4 × 2 pieces. That makes them easier to share, but creates more individual wrappers than one large pack.
For a lunchbox or a quick snack break, you can portion mini syrup waffles into a container in advance. ALDI also lists individually wrapped pairs of syrup waffles as an option for school or work, so minis and twin packs are different choices.
If several people are sharing the same pack, a large sharing pack could work well. Jumbo lists twelve portions in its 468 g pack, while PLUS stocks a 480 g pack. Just plan how you’ll seal and store an opened pack during your journey.
If you have an allergy, check the label of the exact variety first. Then choose a size based on how you plan to share, store or pack the syrup waffles in a lunchbox.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed individual portions | Check whether the pack really contains individually wrapped portions, such as 4 × 2 pieces. | If I want to share waffles, I don’t want to open a pack for everyone first. For around 31% of consumers, being able to share them is the top priority. |
| Enough for the group | Compare the number of waffles, the stated portions and how you can seal the pack after opening. | When travelling with other people, I want to bring enough and decide for myself when to open the pack. That’s the main concern for around 31% of consumers. |
| Smaller portions | Check the portion size and whether you’ll need to portion the mini syrup waffles in advance. | For my lunchbox or a quick snack break, I want to be able to take a smaller amount with me. Around 23% of consumers prioritise this. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings on the exact pack. | If the ingredients determine which variety I can choose or give to someone, the label matters more than the size. This is the first thing around 15% of consumers consider. |
Jumbo lists twelve portions in a 468 g sharing pack, but that doesn’t mean twelve sealed individual packs. A pack of 4 × 2 pieces is arranged differently.
Choose twin packs if you want to hand out sealed portions. If you’re taking a sharing pack, portion out the waffles in advance if needed, or make sure you can reseal the pack.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between varieties. A brand name or a description such as ‘mini’ won’t tell you whether a syrup waffle is suitable for someone’s dietary needs.
Read the label on the exact variety before buying or sharing the waffles. If you need a gluten-free option, look specifically for a product labelled as gluten-free.
Jumbo’s 300 g bag of mini syrup waffles isn’t sold as individual travel portions. A smaller size won’t automatically solve the problem of storing an opened bag.
Portion out the amount you want to take in a resealable container before you set off.
You’ll also need to make room for the container during your journey.
Twin packs mean more individual wrappers than one large sharing pack. NS house rules say that rubbish should go in the bin.
Weigh up the convenience of sealed individual portions against the extra packaging, and keep any rubbish with you until you can put it in a bin.

Mini syrup waffles are an option if you want to take a smaller amount with you. Jumbo lists a 24 g portion for its minis, compared with 39 g for its larger syrup waffles. Portion out the minis in advance if you don’t want to put an opened bag in your lunchbox.
