I think the question was not about the ingredients but the shape of 
the product. Cassia sticks look different from true cinnamon sticks.

That was why the question was not "were these true cinnamon or cassia 
cinnamon faux cinnamon sticks" but "Were these faux 'true' cinnamon 
or faux 'cassia' cinnamon?"

It's always a pleasure to see language used precisely.
