This is IMHO, why companies like McDonalds or Budweiser are technically so impressive. A lot of people will criticize them for being crap or generic quality food and beverage products, but it takes a ridiculous amount of engineering to make a product that's consistent, at scale, all around the world. A family member used to work as an engineer at a large craft brewery and making a consistent product year-to-year was one of their biggest challenges and they didn't always get it right.
