Hula Hoops are 3D golden/brown hoops ranging in size, and sometimes even taste. They can be eaten straight from the packet, like most crisps, or if you are young or are just wanting a laugh, they can be worn as rings—so long as you have small enough fingers. An average bag contains around 25–30 crisps with the main ingredients being potato, sunflower oil, rice flour and salt.


The original Hoola Hoops come in a little 27g foil packet. The front of it is light to medium red, with a picture of a large yellow hoop, which covers three quarters of the pack, with the words, ‘HULA HOOPS’, inside the hoop. Underneath this, in large yellow letters, it says, ‘BE ORIGINAL!’ then underneath this it says, ‘original’, then, ‘potato rings’.
