Comparing Calories in Crisps

Below I have compared the calorie, fat and carbohydrate content of 10 random bags of crisps (well not so random as they are what me or people I have been with have eaten recently, LOL) I have listed them with the highest values per bag at the top, lowest at the bottom.

The highest calorie crisps in this list have over 3 times as many calories as the lowest which is a massive difference when choosing a high calorie snack!

Some bags I have looked at are multipack bags which tend to be slightly smaller than single bags so I will mark these with a *
