obligatory reminder that mcdonald’s was, in fact, found to be at fault in that case. they were genuinely serving coffee at 3rd-degree-burn-level temperatures. the person who spilled the coffee was an elderly woman and spent 8 days in the hospital, needing skin grafts. it has since been used as an example of frivolous litigation, which i think is a little perverse, given the details of the case.link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaura...
