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

@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.
