Pattern recognition

I visited J & F for a meal last night, and happened to notice a pot of Marmite on a kitchen shelf, next to a jar of vegetable bouillion *.

If I wasn't predisposed, would I have noticed that the precise (though random) alignment of labels displayed 'MAR...illion', from right across the room?

Pity a camera wasn't available....

*: I know that's misspelled, but so was the label.
