LAVA HOT absolutely ridiculous that they would serve it this way. If the top accidentally came off or I spilled it – I would need medical treatment. Could not even drink it until 15 minutes later.

They failed to heed these instructions. McDonalds heated their coffee beyond what is allowed by law and they must pay for that. Clearly, their success, thanks to the right-wing media, in being cast as the martyr in 1994 has gone to their heads – what they need is to pay far more still. I wonder – why isn’t the Right demanding the return of the Ford Pinto and that Ford be compensated for their crucifixion over this issue?
