Editor's Notes
- #2 Goal: Understand that manufacturing isn’t scary, and packaging will affect every part of your life as well as your career
- #4 If any chem E’s or MSEs want to talk to me after about the process, let me know and I would LOVE to explain it to you.
- #5 You don’t care about how it works if you don’t understand why it matters. Brand Loyalty: Buy Febreeze 1st time because you heard about it, but won’t buy it again if the packaging stinks. Ecommerce: Coke and Amazon approached us. Food-Tom&Chee
