Default Placed vs Thrown Olives

I learned something new today. I was buying a jar of olives at Publix. They had a 7 ounce tall skinny jar of "placed" olives for 7 dollars and a 7 ounce short wide jar of the exact same olives that were labelled as "thrown" olives for 4 dollars. What is the difference? Apparently, the thrown olives are put in the jar by a machine, but the placed olives are put in the jar by a human. Did you know the difference? I will never buy placed olives again.
