Groups sharing a snack stash
If you want to share from one pack, compare the total amount: REWE, EDEKA and ALDI SÜD each list 250 g for the salted pretzels covered here.
Which pack suits whom
On the go, with leftovers in mind
If you won’t finish the bag in one go, a resealable closure may matter more than choosing the largest pack. Lorenz specifically describes its 150 g Saltletts Mini Brezel bag as resealable.
Groups handing out individual portions
Lorenz’s Saltletts Mini Brezel multipack contains three 40 g packs. They’re easy to hand out separately, but add up to just 120 g in total.
What to look for when buying
First decide what matters most for your group: the total amount, a resealable bag or separate portions. Then check the pack’s labelling for everyone who’ll be sharing.
| Criteria | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Total amount | Compare the total weight rather than the number of packs: the standard packs considered here from ja!, GUT&GÜNSTIG and SUNSNACKS each contain 250 g. | When several people are sharing from one stash, I want to take enough in a single pack. For around 36% of consumers, this need for a larger amount comes first. |
| Leftovers after opening | Look for a specifically stated resealable closure and check the storage instructions on the pack. | If there’s anything left after an outing, I want to save the opened snack for later. This is a priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Separate portions | Check the number of packs, the weight of each one and the total weight; three 40 g packs make 120 g. | Rather than passing around an open bag, I want to hand out individual packs. Around 21% of consumers prioritise separate portions. |
| Pack labelling | Check the ingredients, wheat and any other potential allergen information, as well as the salt per 100 g, on the specific pack. | Before sharing salted pretzels, I need to know whether the labelling meets everyone’s requirements. For around 14% of consumers, this is the most important consideration when buying. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a multipack is the same as a large bag
Three 40 g Lorenz portions add up to 120 g. The 250 g packs compared here contain more salted pretzels for sharing.
Compare the total weight before choosing between individual portions and one shared bag.
-
Assuming the pack is resealable
Lorenz says its 150 g bag has a resealable closure. The pack size alone won’t tell you how easy it is to store leftovers.
Check the closure on the pack you choose. If you need to keep leftovers, you can take a suitable airtight container with you.
-
Overlooking allergen information when sharing
The Lorenz, ja! and GUT&GÜNSTIG products described list wheat; some also state that they may contain traces of other allergens.
Read the labelling on the specific pack before sharing it with others.
-
Judging saltiness by taste alone
The Lorenz, ja!, GUT&GÜNSTIG and SUNSNACKS options described here have different salt levels per 100 g. ALDI SÜD also notes that SUNSNACKS values may vary between suppliers.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g on the packs and consider how much of the bag will actually be shared.
