Inevitably the last people to grab cookies only have oatmeal raisin as a choice but will probably assume they are chocolate chip, because who hosts a party with cookies and doesn’t serve chocolate chip cookies? When you bite into something expecting one thing and get something else it adds to the disappointment.
It would be like having an equal number of left- and right-handed items but not enough where everyone can have their pick.
