Answer #1: Because right there in the freezer case, next to the box of fishsticks you bought, was a lumpy bag of fishsticks. But you didn't notice them, you instead saw a nice stacked box with pretty pictures on it, and you bought that instead.

Answer #2: Because in stores across the country, those same plastic bags are inside a variety of boxes with different brands on them. The one fishstick factory ships out the unmarked plastic bags to whatever distributor has a good brand penetration in the area.



So, ah... do you like fishsticks?
