I can't tell if they are joking or not.

I made a vat of hummus for our Spindrift trip. The hummus also came with celery and carrots for dipping and, of course, pita bread. After we got home, I happened to look at the label and laughed long and hard when I read the diagrams for the suggested ways to cut the pita bread.

There's something familiar about the hot dog slice and the diagonal taco cut. I feel like I've seen it before somewhere...
Oh yes! Those two cuts are THE EXACT SAME CUT AS the sandwich cut. They are just rotated.

Hmmm, I really want to make the "cold cuts" cut, because I've got this delicious roast beef. But what should I do if I'm making tiny roast beef sandwiches for snacks? Which cut should I use?
Oh wait! It turns out that the Hors d'oeuvres/Snack Cut and the Cold Cuts cuts are THE EXACT SAME CUT!

I'm really hoping the graphic designer who created this packaging realizes this and is just having a laugh.
