I learned from
[Nihongoresources](http://www.nihongoresources.com/language/lessons/lesson-04/lesson.html)
that:

> An interesting note is on the "number of problems" I mentioned; while in
> English you would list problems (or rules, or whatever) as "First, .....,
> second, ......, third, ....." - Not so in Japanese. **Instead, you list each
> individual problem, rule, or whateveryagots [ _sic_ ] with ひとつ.** The
> reasoning here is that you are not listing them in an ordered fashion,
> ticking them off, but you're listing them one by one, and each thing you
> list is only one thing, therefore you count them as one thing, not two or
> three or more.

But I encountered this description on a box of おせんべい:

> 一つ、一口に海老コク広がる姫ゆかり。 (Bite-sized shrimp (コク広がる姫ゆかり? stretched princess-ness?))
>
> 二つ、磯の香りをくるりと黒のり。 (Wrapped with black seaweed and flavor of the sea)
>
> 三つ、目にも美味しい桜えび青のり。 (Sakura shrimp in green seaweed that's delicious even to
> the eyes)
>
> 四つ、パリッと姿焼きかわいい小えび。 (Crispy grilled cute small shrimp)
>
> 五つ、香りと風味はじける黒ごま。 (Black sesame that's bursting with flavor and fragrance)
>
> 六つ、上品な甘さとけ合う抹茶。 (Green tea infused with exquisite sweetness)
>
> 七つ、やさしく自然な甘みの紫いも。 (Gently(delightfully), naturally sweet purple potato)
>
> 八つ、香ばしく味わい素朴な黒豆。 (Sweetly flavored simple black bean)

The main question is what does this form of number listing do? When I opened
one packet there was one of each of the items indicated above instead of 1 of
the first item, 2 of the second, 3 of the third etc. (Also as an aside I would
be grateful if my translations receive verification and correction as well as
some help for things that I was unable to translate.)

question
numbers
Listing using ひとつ?
Just like there are both bulleted lists and numbered lists in English, so are
there in Japanese. Repeating like `一、一、...`, or `一つ、一つ、...` corresponds to a
bulleted list, and couting as `一、二、...` or `一つ、二つ、...` corresponds to a
numbered list. Nothing special. Listing is called 箇条書き in Japanese.

Modification to your translations:

> 一つ、...  
>  姫ゆかり (name of the cracker?), a bite of which spreads a thick/bold flavour
> of shrimp within your mouth.
