no they are not the same. mini bells are about 2" in diameter at most and look exactly like bell peppers. cheese peppers are much larger closer to 4" or a tiny bit more maybe, depending on their growing conditions.

And that bag of peppers looks exactly like the "Yummy" variety of all the colors.... not the yum yum mix, but truly "Yummy" ( a variety out of Hungary)... which in the past several years they have started marketing them as hybrid peppers and they are not. they have such small seed cavities that I think (IMHO) that they are selling them as hybrids because hybrid pepper seeds are much more expensive than OP seeds.. and in order to make up the difference in seed harvest they can sell them at a higher cost to the consumer.
