Choose a multipack with individual bags if you want to portion out tortilla chips for players or lunch boxes in advance. A larger bag is better for serving in one shared bowl with dip. A mixed snack box offers variety, but doesn’t contain tortilla chips exclusively. Compare the weight per bag and the total contents, and check the label for the specific variety you choose.
If you want to set out a sealed bag for each player, a tortilla chip multipack is a straightforward choice. Jumbo lists Doritos Nacho Cheese in packs of 20 bags, each weighing 44 g. Choose a portion size that suits how you plan to serve the chips.
Small individual bags don’t need to be repacked. Jumbo lists Doritos Bits Honey BBQ in packs of 30 bags, each weighing 30 g. However, these are barbecue-flavoured corn snacks, not the same kind of tortilla chip you’d serve in a bowl with dip.
A mixed snack box can be a good fit if not everyone wants the same snack. According to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Celebration Box contains different types of snacks, including four bags of Doritos Nacho Cheese. Check the quantities if you mainly want tortilla chips.
First decide whether you want sealed portions, a mix of snacks or one shared bowl. Then compare the contents and the label of the pack that suits your needs.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | The number of bags, the weight of each bag and whether they actually contain tortilla chips. | I want to give each player or lunch box a sealed bag, rather than portioning out a large one. Around 33% of consumers prioritise individual portions. |
| Variety | The number of bags per flavour and snack type. A mixed box may also contain other crisps and savoury snacks. | I want to put out a range of snacks for our gaming group, even if not every bag contains tortilla chips. Around 25% of consumers prioritise variety. |
| Total contents | The total weight as well as the number of bags, so you can compare packs with different portion sizes. | When I’m buying snacks for a group, I want to know how many crisps there are altogether, not just how many bags are in the box. This is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Label information | The ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values for the exact flavour and pack. | If a snack’s ingredients affect my choice, I’d rather read the label for that specific variety than rely on the flavour name alone. Around 17% of consumers prioritise this check. |
According to Albert Heijn, the Lay's Celebration Box also contains other snacks; four bags are Doritos Nacho Cheese. So the contents may not be what you expect if you’re looking for tortilla chips to serve in one shared bowl.
Before buying, check how many bags of tortilla chips the box contains and how many grams are in each one.
The Doritos packs listed by Jumbo differ in both number and portion size: 20 × 44 g of Nacho Cheese compared with 30 × 30 g of Bits Honey BBQ. They’re also different types of snack.
