@LukeAlmighty coffee spill burns are supposed to be first degree, second at worst; and the lady got a third degree burn, so this is not burgers being burgers, it's a corporation hiding its faults behind a smear campaign of an old lady who did nothing wrong
@tomie I saw the injury, I get, that it was a really bad case. But hot coffee means 100 degrees. The scale of burn is outside of temperature also affected by the amount of liquid etc. But accidents do happen, and hot coffee is a thing you might want to order.
There is nothing like super-hot water. It is either 100°c or its a stream. (ok, the range of saved energy in water at 100 is quite wide, but the point is, that hot water and skin is just a bad combo). And when I ordered a hot tea 4 days ago, I was happy it was at 100. I wanted something to hold in my hands in the winter.
So, I seriously don't see the difference between hot coffee burning you when mishandled and a hot stove burning you when mishandled. Neither the fault of corporation.
@LukeAlmighty@Mr_NutterButter exactly, a HOT cup of coffee, not BOILING liquid which is unable to hold its state of matter together anything above 65° for coffee is a travesty
@LukeAlmighty Really, people are still on about that? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This and the gay cake thing are gonna be things people will forever debate because they're just that dumb. Coffee IS supposed to be too hot to drink when you get a fresh cup, and wedding cakes are an art form, hence free speech prevails. No gay wedding cake if I don't want to make it.
@LukeAlmighty I'm pretty sure the investigation found that McDonald's was serving the coffee at a higher temperature than they were supposed to. As I recall it melted her pants to her leg and she was hospitalized.
