For a picnic with several people, 200 g and 215 g bags are a good place to start. If you have a smaller group or are bringing other snacks, a 150 g bag may be a better fit for the amount you have in mind. The flavour you want also matters, as do the ingredients, allergen information and nutritional values on the specific pack.
If you only want to open one bag, match the pack size to the number of people and the other snacks you’re bringing. funny-frisch lists Chipsfrisch ungarisch at 215 g, while REWE and EDEKA each sell the paprika crisps mentioned at 200 g.
For these groups, the specific recipe matters more than the flavour name. Lorenz lists milk ingredients in Crunchips Paprika; ingredients and may-contain information vary between other paprika products.
If you’re choosing between classic potato crisps, stacked crisps and oven-baked crisps, compare fat and salt per 100 g using the nutritional information. The cooking method or one individual nutrient doesn’t tell you everything about the pack.
First, work out how many people will be eating the crisps and what other snacks you’re planning to bring. Then you can compare the flavour, ingredients and nutritional information on the specific pack.
| Criteria | What to check | Who it matters most to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the weight with the number of people and other snacks; if appropriate, compare a larger bag with several smaller varieties. | If several people will be sharing one bag, I want to plan the quantity carefully without opening more than we need. This is the main consideration for around 42% of consumers. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Check the ingredients list, highlighted allergens and may-contain information on the specific pack; don’t assume the flavour name tells you what’s in the recipe. | For a mixed group, I need a flavour with ingredients that work for everyone sharing. Around 33% of consumers give this priority. |
| Nutritional values and product type | Compare fat and salt per 100 g, and check whether you’re looking at potato crisps, stacked crisps or oven-baked crisps. | When I’m choosing between different product types, I want to compare their nutritional information on the same basis. This is the most important criterion for around 25% of consumers. |
