I think it's more likely that the consistent quality is a side bonus from most of 3M's customers being other corporations, not individual consumers

If 3M only sold painter's tape to the public, most of the public will buy it whether it's crap or not because most of the public only needs to put up with painter's tape occasionally

However if a large commercial real estate company who goes through palettes of painters tape suddenly has to start ordering 1.5x as many palettes because some of the tape is defective, they'll threaten 3M with cancelling a multi-million-dollar contract that will hurt 3M's quarterly spreadsheets.

That is until inevitably someone at 3M gets the idea to start producing a cheaper "consumer grade" painters tape and then everyone who doesn't have a relative in building maintenance who can swipe a pro grade roll for you is SOL

also as far as we can tell most food safe plastic isn't even safe 🫠

 

Something you're just good at with minimal effort and/or you learned much more quickly than average.

For me, it's paper snowflakes. My brain just seems to effortlessly figure out what cuts to make to the paper wedge to make it turn out exactly how I want it. Largely useless, but good fun and was a much-needed ego boost when I was a kid :]
