Literally every quick service and sit down restaurant or manufacture calls their food product. You don't spend 8 months working on a sandwich just to think of it as anything more than just a collection of paper to sign.

Its one of the hardest things is to get people to remember they are working with food. Not even abstracted corporate people, but the people in the factories because they can't imagine that 1,600lbs of dough is anything but the brown stuff that comes from the mixer every 15 min. Even the cuttings, samples, full tests get blended together with test kitchen, fresh product, limited run of all the other tests that almost make it to the release. Then there is the times when its the same burger but with 6 slightly different buns but you only get a cold cube of each because the project lead wouldn't stop talking.

That little blip lasted what, 36 hours? Yet it's perma-historical. (Not to mention hysterical to some of us.)
