For a sandwich lunch where everyone helps themselves to crisps from one bowl, the 272 g and 300 g bags listed by Jumbo offer useful points of comparison; individual bags are a better fit if everyone is having their own portion. Choose the quantity to suit the number of people eating and what else is on the table, and check the flavour and allergen information for the exact variety you choose.
If you’re getting sandwiches with a group and serving crisps and perhaps a dip alongside, you can choose the quantity to suit everyone. Jumbo lists tortilla chips in 272 g and 300 g bags, among other sizes; individual portions are better suited to a different way of serving.
If you’re buying for a group with different flavour preferences or food allergies, check the label before choosing the exact variety. For example, Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Cool American 272 g and Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 × 44 g.
First decide whether you’re filling one bowl or handing out individual portions. Then consider which flavour will go with the rest of the lunch and what information on the label matters to your group.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and serving style | Compare the net weight with the number of people eating, then decide whether you need one bowl or individual portions. | When we’re having sandwiches together, I want enough crisps to put out in one bowl without handing out individual bags. Around 50% of consumers prioritise having enough to share. |
| Flavour and allergens | Look at the flavour variety and check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve chosen. | When I bring crisps for others, I want a flavour that suits the group and to be able to take allergies into account. For around 25% of consumers, flavour and allergens come first. |
| Portion size and nutritional information | Check the nutritional information per 100 g and decide how much you’ll actually serve. | Alongside my sandwich, I want to choose how many crisps I have and be able to check the nutritional information. Portion size and nutritional value are the first things around 25% of consumers look at. |
The flavour variety matters: Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Cool American 272 g and Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 × 44 g. A product name or picture isn’t enough to make a choice for someone with an allergy.
Before buying, check the allergen information on the pack of the exact flavour and size you’re taking with you.
A seasoned variety will affect how the crisps taste with the dip and sandwiches. A plain variety is a different option if you want the dip to take centre stage.
Agree on the flavour with the group beforehand; don’t choose based on bag size alone.
A listing for tortilla or nacho chips doesn’t tell you which pack you’ll find in your local shop.
Check the current packaging and range at the shop where you’re buying your lunch.
An option for a group that decides on a particular flavour in advance. Jumbo lists 272 g bags in Nacho Cheese and Cool American, among other varieties.

It depends on the number of people eating and what else you’re serving. Jumbo lists 272 g and 300 g bags as options to compare for one bowl; if you’d like to give everyone their own sealed portion, look for individual bags instead.
Don’t choose these flavours without checking the allergen information on the exact pack. Jumbo lists milk in Doritos Cool American 272 g and Doritos Nacho Cheese 20 × 44 g; the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergen information must be shown on the label of prepacked products.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. For the Doritos and own-brand varieties described, Jumbo advises storing them in a cool, dry place.
