...someone busted out the McDonald's coffee lawsuit canard.
I kept my mouth closed because it didn't seem worth getting into but I feel dirty now. Consider this my confession and now I'm off to say five Hail Mary's and ten Our Father's.

It has become a meme. It's like "Al Gore claims he invented the Internet." It's a factoid.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I hear the McDonalds ******** every 2 weeks or so.

No clue what you are talking about...I know the lawsuit, not sure what the issue was with it.

Probably the best quote from the linked article:
Quote:
Further, McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. He also testified that a burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above, and that McDonalds coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat. The quality assurance manager admitted that burns would occur, but testified that McDonalds had no intention of reducing the "holding temperature" of its coffee.

It's not only the temperature it is held at, it's the cheap flimsy cups that they used at that time, which if you grasped a little too hard will squeeze the hot liquid up and out of the cup all over your hand or if you are driving or sitting onto your lap or stomach.

Say it isn't so! 
I need stories like that to sustain my belief in the power of 'they'.
Next thing you'll be telling me that you don't know anyone who's had their arm broken by a swan, died from swallowing gum, or had a gust of wind turn a grimace into a permanent facial contortion.
Damn you Jophiel!!
