The real story of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit...
This is a great example of how distorted things get once they become "folklore". Its also one of my favorite things to argue with people about when they go, "....just like that bitch that sued McDonald's for spilling coffee on herself"

It should never have been publicized as much as it was. The case and resulting public opinion became what the media wanted it to become.

Here's my thing though...And I work in an industry that Serves Millions of Cups of Coffee a day...I dont disagree with them going after Mcdonalds...Clearly someone at that Mickey D's was not listening to the warnings about the hotter than mandated coffee...
Even at the regulated Temperture...Someone who gets there coffee black with nothing in it...If they were in the same situation...They would get burned pretty fucking badly. Not to mention, This lady was elderly...and lets face it your skin isnt as resilient at that age...Not to mention she fucking had it in between her legs. So parts of it I agree with and Parts of it I dont.

Morgan & Morgan.
 I didn't know they had gone national. I remember hearing their ads on the radio as a kid.
