I think there was an incident with a woman at a Mcdonalds years ago where she spilled her coffee all over herself and sued. I might be wrong but I am pretty sure she won that case and made off with a good amount of money. Although I will say that the coffee at Mcdonalds is lava hot even after its sat around for 20 minutes. I just wish a judge somewhere would look at these people, laugh in their face, then force them to pay court fees. Suing someone because you’re clumsy is the real American dream I guess.

You are right it was McDonalds.
I look back to even a few weeks ago and think of the people I could have sued. No wonder I am poor, but at least I believe in self-responsibility and honesty .

The ultimate resolution of the McDonalds’ case enriched no one except the attorneys.

For the record, during the trial McDonalds admitted that it knew of some 700 other cases of third degree burns resulting from its coffee, that their coffee was, to their knowledge, “unfit for consumption” when served (at 190 degrees) and that they did nothing to warn customers of the danger.

Any liquid that causes 3rd degree burns is TOO DAMN HOT and any common sense idiot would know that.

If you saw the evidence photo of the McDonalds lady, you wouldn’t think her suit was frivolous. (way too graphic to post here)

3rd degree burns hurt like HELL. And I can’t even imagine burning all your genitals...
