oeh the bigmac is a striking example; don't mind eating the one on the left, but you can keep the one on the right.. i agree with your statement; if you design something make sure it is feasible. it is part of your job as a(n) (industrial) designer to keep in mind your design should be massproduced and keep checking that it can. if not; find a creative solution that accomplishes the same goal, but don't comprimise on the design goals.
