How is "nacho sliced" jalapeño different from regular sliced? I noticed that my grocery store sells jalapeño that is "nacho sliced". How is this different (if at all) than just normal "sliced"?



I do understand that the product on the right is labeled "no heat", and that is a significant difference between these products. I am not asking what the difference between these products is in general: I am asking specifically about nacho-sliced-ness. How is a "nacho sliced jalapeño" different from an ordinary "sliced jalapeño"?

Bonus question: why are nachos pictured on the jalapeño that is not "nacho sliced"?
As near as I can determine, "nacho sliced" is simply a marketing term for such pre-sliced, pickled jalapeno peppers.  A quick Google for the term brings up several brands which appear identical to one another.  There are also similar combinations of the words such as "nacho jalapenos, sliced".  The bottle on the right is the only one labelled as such, but they're basically the exact same thing.

So, the only difference?  The "no heat" on the right-hand bottle, and some other subtle changes to the packaging.  It's marketing fluff, not a real distinction.

Bonus answer: they probably decided that the picture on the right bottle looked healthier, or lighter, or more colorful, or some dang thing.
