For a maize-based hiking snack, choose the number and size of bags you will use: Tesco lists Wotsits Cheese in 12- and 20-packs of 16.5g bags, and Monster Munch Pickled Onion in a six-pack of 20g bags. Walkers lists maize in both snacks, but potato starch as the first ingredient in Quavers Cheese. Check the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen information before sharing it with your group.
Individual bags can be shared between walkers or set aside for different stops without dividing a sharing bag on the trail. Tesco lists the compared Wotsits and Monster Munch multipacks with 6, 12 or 20 separate bags.
Count the portions you expect to use across your walks. A 20-pack gives you more separate Wotsits Cheese bags than a 12-pack, while both listed formats contain 16.5g per bag, according to Tesco.
Check the ingredients rather than relying on the shape of the snack. Walkers lists maize in Wotsits Cheese and Monster Munch Pickled Onion, but potato starch first in Quavers Cheese.
Start with the number of bags your group will use, then compare the size of each bag and check the ingredients on the exact flavour.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Separate portions | Count the inner bags and the walkers or stops they need to cover. Tesco lists Wotsits Cheese in 12- and 20-packs and Monster Munch Pickled Onion in a six-pack. | I want enough sealed bags to share or spread across stops, without opening a larger bag on the trail. |
| Bag size | Compare weight per bag as well as bag count: Tesco lists 16.5g for each Wotsits Cheese bag and 20g for each Monster Munch Pickled Onion bag. | For shorter stops, a smaller individual bag may fit what I plan to pack; for other outings, I may prefer a 20g bag. |
| Maize ingredients | Read the ingredient list for the exact flavour. Walkers lists maize in Wotsits Cheese and Monster Munch Pickled Onion, while Quavers Cheese starts with potato starch. | If maize is the reason I am choosing this snack, I need the ingredient list to confirm it. |
| Allergen information | Read the full ingredients and allergen statements on the pack you buy. Walkers lists milk in Wotsits Cheese; check other flavours separately rather than assuming they share its recipe. | Before I put snacks in a shared hiking bag, I need to know whether each person can have the exact product. |
| The rest of the food bag | Plan food and water for the route length and conditions, rather than counting an individual savoury snack as the whole plan. | I want the multipack to provide convenient snack portions while I plan the rest of what I will carry. |
