I just spent 20 minutes reading comments on IG about the famous coffee burn case.

And even after years of education, Burgers still don't know that coffee is hot.

@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

I just don't get the argument. 100° coffee is just that. 

@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 there's nothing i hate more than cold coffee (except maybe niggers and jews) so i think I'll get coffee at macdonalds more often.

@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.
@LukeAlmighty It probably would have been more fair to sue the negligent employee specifically but that person never could have paid for the damages so naturally the corporation foots the bill

@monsterislandcolonizer
You cannot serve coffee above 100°, because you would get a cup of steam with some bean dust at the bottom.
