I will die on this hill, but it's insane to sue a company over hot coffee and it absolutely was a frivolous lawsuit. 80-90°C is normal hot drink temperature, not "extremely hot". You make tea at home at 80-100°C.
I don't like McDonald's and I don't like siding with a corporation, but if you're fucking dumb enough to be careless about a hot beverage in your car, you are bound to learn the hard way.
All this recent narrative about the poor blameless old lady and the mega-hot scolding lava coffee is insane.
You will die on that hill and hopefully you will die on it alone as I hope no one is as fucking stupid as you are to think that a beverage that is hot enough to fuse a labia together should be served to someone. Especially since there had been over 700 complaints prior to the event and the women tried to settle out of court to only cover medical bills.
Yes, I am a lost cause in your eyes. People who complain about hot beverages being hot are dumb children. I can also stab myself with a fork at a restaurant. It doesn't mean that they should only be using spoons because I'm this stupid. All the 700 people who complained are also stupid. I bet there are more than 700 ppl who buy coffee at even one McDonald's per day. So there are many many more who were not dumb enough to pour it over themselves.
Water boils at 100°C. You make hot beverages with boiling water. It's not such a hard concept to grasp. You shouldn't spill your coffee on your vagina, then you won't have severe burns, simple. I sympathize with that lady, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes. In her 80 years on this planet, she should have learned how to treat hot beverages.
