Chip Diversity, or the Lack Thereof

Last weekend while I was in Avalon I obtained two single serving bags of Herr’s potato chips. Take a look at a picture of one of the bags. Does it raise an immediate and pressing question?

An intriguing bag of chips.

When I saw this bag design I was filled with curiosity. What style of chip is in this bag? Both ruffle-cut and regular-cut chips appear on the front, and there is no mention which style of chip is inside. Could it possibly be both?

Tonight I opened them. Both bags contained exclusively ruffle-cut chips (which I normally prefer over regular-cut).

This caused me to realize that I have never seen a bag of chips that contained both ruffle-cut and regular-cut chips.
