Oreo^® brand sandwich cookies

Why is it that recipes on product packages always say something like “1 package of Oreo^® brand sandwich cookies” or “4 tablespoons Peter Pan^® brand peanut butter”?

Do they think I’m going to buy a package of Oreos just for the recipe, throw them out and then buy the store brand “Chocolate cream sandwich cookies” to make the recipe?
