I'm just funning with you. However, maybe, who knows,
it may depend on the zip code in which they are sold.

ACTUALLY, though...

Farfalle = Farfalle, French to English
Farfalle = Butterflies, Italian to English

So... stop for a second... where does "bowtie" come from???

I shall be kind and NOT say "zip code".

Farfalle

Farfalle (Italian: [farˈfalle]) are a type of pasta commonly known as bow-tie pasta or butterfly pasta. The name is derived from the Italian word farfalle (butterflies).[1] In the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, farfalle are known as strichetti (a local word for "bow ties"). A larger variation of farfalle is known as farfalloni, while the miniature version is called farfalline. Farfalle date back to the 16th century in the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions of Northern Italy.[citation needed]​

Media: Farfalle

Varieties

Farfalle come in several sizes, but they all have a distinctive "bow tie" shape. Usually, the farfalle are formed from a rectangle or oval of pasta, with two of the sides trimmed to a ruffled edge and the center pinched together to make the unusual shape of the pasta. A ridged version of the pasta is known as farfalle rigate. Though usable with most sauces, farfalle are best suited to cream and tomato sauces.[citation needed]​

farfalle is definitely an italian pasta shape but ronzoni (founded by an italian immigrant) calls them bow ties and so do other pasta makers and you have to admit the resemblance is there;)
so no zip code involved except i was led down the garden path by barilla :D
