The invention is related to an array of different types of scoops (10) comprising at least two types of scoops (11), each type of scoop (11, 11, 11, 11) in the array (10) comprising: a scoop bowl (12) having a scoop capacity (12, 12); and a handle (13) having a proximal end (16) connected to said scoop bowl (12), said handle (13) having a handle extension (13, 13) extending from said proximal end to a distal end (17) remote from said scoop bowl (12); and visually detectable identification means. Each type of scoop (11, 11, 11, 11) in said array of different types of scoops differs from every other type of scoop (11, 11, 11, 11) in said array of different types of scoops (10) by having a different scoop capacity (12, 12) and/or handle extension (13, 13). The visually detectable identification means is a visually detectable identification element (18, 18, 18, 18), wherein each type of scoop (11, 11, 11, 11) in said array of different types of scoops (10) is provided with a unique visually detectable identification element (18, 18, 18, 18). The invention also relates to an array of different types of packaging containers (30) comprising at least two types of packaging containers (31) wherein each type of packaging container in the array (30) differs from every other type of packaging container (31) in said array (30) by one or more aspects such as different content, different size and different design. Each type of packaging container (31) in said array (30) is provided with a corresponding unique type of scoop (11) from said array of different types of scoops (10).

A roofing shingle includes an overlay sheet, an underlay sheet, and a reinforcement member. The overlay sheet includes a headlap portion and a tab portion, wherein the overlay sheet has an overlay sheet height. The underlay sheet is secured to a bottom surface of the overlay sheet such that a region of the underlay sheet overlaps a region of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet, wherein the underlay sheet has a height equal to approximately half of the overlay sheet height. The reinforcement material is secured to a top surface of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet, wherein the reinforcement material is configured to improve nail pull-through, wherein the reinforcement material extends beyond the overlapping regions of the headlap portion and the underlay sheet.
