[QUOTE="tweetr, post: 2098811, member: 5183"] Nice try, but the facts as presented in that article do not substantially rebut the common understanding. It distills to: the lady sued McDonalds for serving her hot coffee without warning her that hot coffee could burn her. McDonalds did not spill it on her. Only a lawyer (who stands to gain financially by similar lawsuits) could consider that a legitimate lawsuit! I love this line: "No one is in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results;" Of course some among us are in favor! They are called trial lawyers, who benefit financially by convincing ever more of us to sue ever more of us. No matter who wins the case and who loses the case, the trial lawyers and court system always win. It is a win-win proposition only for them. The temperature of the coffee when served is a matter entirely between McDonalds and their customers. If you (or she) prefer your coffee served at a lower temperature, why feel free to go elsewhere! Other customers may well prefer their coffee served at a toasty 180 degrees. If enough of McDonalds' customers agree with you, McDonalds will have to change its coffee temperature or risk losing customers. Simple. I myself brew coffee at 200 degrees, then allow it to cool for five minutes or so before drinking. I don't know the exact temperature when I drink it, but I [I]do[/I] know (a) it's hot, and (b) it will burn me if I spill it! Duh. I serve it only to myself, my family, and my guests, of course. If I had to hold coffee to serve to customers I too would study the effect of temperature and time on the quality of the coffee when served and attempt to find the best compromise. If successful I would attract and retain customers. If unsuccessful I would lose customers. Explain to me how trial lawyers improve this simple, natural, and effective arrangement. [/QUOTE]
