OK, here's my take on it. The ingredient lists on Hurst's website says the
packages contain 15 of 18 listed beans, etc. I figure at the end of the day,
after they've bagged all 18 varieties individually, they toss all the
leftovers -- an ounce of this, an ounce of that -- into the 15-bean bags.

Me, I'll just stick with one-of-a-kind, one-at-a-time.
