  Like the woman who sued macdonalds for getting third degree burns because their coffee was too hot.

  Please never mention this story without pointing out at least one of the following;

  • The coffee was hot enough to cause crippling burns to her genitals.
  • McDonald’s intentionally had their coffee too hot to drink to keep customers from hanging out
  • the woman only asked for medical expenses and did not sue until her complaint was ignored.
  • the eye-popping headline number was calculated as something like one day of the company’s coffee profit.

  There literally isn’t an instance of a US company being sued by a customer more deserving of empathy and horror.

    AND McDonalds had been warned that their coffee was too dangerously hot on previous occasions, which they ignored, so it was entirely predictable, probable, and preventable.

    To be fair, the context in which they invoked the case assumed we’d all remember those details already.
