During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not have to give out as many free refills of coffee. This policy by the fast food chain is the reason the jury awarded $2.7 million dollars in punitive damages in the McDonald’s hot coffee case. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their inappropriate business practice.
Listen, do this as a test, pour water a cup of water on your pants. See if your legs get wet. Better yet, heat it up or chill it (not enough to hurt yourself) and see how cold or warm your legs feel.
False equivalent test. Yes ur legs will get wet. No u won’t get burns like u see in the pics. That’s my point. This would have been a minor scalding if she wouldnt have just sat there and had taken her pants off.
Dude, she was 79 years old and wearing jeans. You think she could just jump out of them in like 2 seconds? She’s in a fucking car in a drive through, you can’t even get out the drivers side door in those circumstanced.
You’d only get a light scalding because I’m telling you to not get near boiling water. I’m telling you to do this to see if your legs get wet and if you can still feel the temperature even if they somehow don’t.
