They do. They simply go too fast for checkweighters to be useful.

They're also doing so, each year they buy a freaking lot of new machines to substitute those that they can - sometimes though their production environments are too cramped and can't accomodate different machines unless they redesign the whole chain. so not all factories have the latest QA machines.

OK, so weigh the six-pack or the 24-pack or whatever. A difference of 330 grams in the weight of those should still be easily detectable, and require much fewer weighings. Your comment about the space on the production line makes sense; redesigning an entire factory layout in order to remove a (presumably tiny) number of errors is probably not at the top of their list... :)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Yup. Process-control engineers certainly earn their pay!

Loaded a case of diet coke into office refrigerator and found this: an unopened empty can. How could this pass the quality control?

Phht, it's diet coke - hows a programmer supposed to work without energy to keep his brain functioning? some already mentioned the empty makes it super-diet another benefit is less weird sweetner chemicals win-win now go and buy proper coca-cola.

Version 3.3 of the automation code was written by someone who only drinks vegetable juice. So of course it had a bug.

I guess you found the only can which was really "diet" :)

Not at all.. the can with just air in it is only 0 calories, whereas the one with cold diet soda in it is negative calories.
I live in Oregon, and I'm an engineer.

Perhaps there was a tiny leak in the can.

Not really. It has only been around 4 years that I have discovered microbreweries in the places where I have lived. I traveled a lot from 2010 through 2015 (filled up the passport). I used to rely on giants of the industry and the popular ones in the city where I was. Then, one of the colleagues took me to a place where I saw bottles I had never seen before. I tried them and loved them. I was told these are from small breweries around the town. So, there is a very good chance that it is not really artificially carbonated. Also, they were more, well, fresher than assembly line beers. That day and now, I stick with micro-breweries. From past few months Bira 91[^] has been the choice. It's available in New York if you want to try.
