Stella, for whom the famous Stella Awards for ridiculous lawsuits are named, ordered a hot drink and burned herself with it. Whether 1, 100, or 1000 idiots before her complained of the same thing, it only proves there are a lot of idiots out there.
The coffee in question was 180 degrees. The National Coffee Association recommends coffee be brewed at “between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction” and drunk “immediately”. If not drunk immediately, it should be “maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Coffee and tea are typically made by boiling or evaporated water (can’t get any hotter than that). Are we to invent some new process so it won’t be so hot?
Is there no such thing as personal liability any more? Is everything someone else’s fault? One thing brought up on that lawsuit was that there wasn’t a “proper warning label” that… DUH… coffee is hot.
I completely side with Mickey D’s on this one and I too would have shrugged off any complaints that “the hot drink I ordered is hot”. whut the fack?
