    A friend of mine got a food engineering internship after completing his degree in chemistry. He was tasked with incrementally adding a new preservative to a measured bowl of cereal, and tasting it at each interval, to mark down the amount that could be added without detecting a change in taste. He had to do this for every cereal in their line.
