whoa canada

someone needs to turn down that sass level

Two things to know about Canada!

1. We are smart enough to know hot things should be hot.
2. We are sorry if you don’t

A few things you need to know about this hot coffee case: 

1. It wasn’t an issue of the coffee being because no fucking shit coffee is hot, but McDonald’s had over heated their water to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 121C. Not just hot, but really FUCKING hot. Your fancy Starbucks lattes are brewed to 150 degrees. 
2. The 79 year old woman had this cup of 250F (121C) coffee between her legs when it spilled so 250F (121C) coffee spilled on her genitals
3. She got third degree burns…on her genitals. THIRD DEGREE.
4. She had to have skin grafts to repair the damage
5. When she sued McDonald’s, it wasn’t for millions of dollars, it was for $20,000 to cover hospital costs and court fees. 20-fucking-thousand.
6. McDonald’s settled and changed their heating policy, but not before making her sign a gag order keeping her from talking about this case
7. So she had to live on hearing little shits like you call her stupid and money-grubbing, and other horrendous stuff because she dared ask the company in the wrong to fix what they fucked up.

I know I’ve reblogged this before tonight but so help me god, I will keep reblogging this with the proper information so everyone can maybe learn not to be an asshole. Like I said before, next person to mock this woman can have 250F (121C) water poured on their dick or lady dick and see how you like it.

So sit the fuck down, Canada.

Slow clap it out for the hot piece of sass that is my rp partner.

The fucking coffee was so hot that it weakened the cup, and that was why the shit spilled all over btw.

Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants. She won the case because among other things it came out in court that McDonald’s had received tons of complaints about the coffee being dangerously hot before, but kept overheating it: “McDonald’s Corp. sold its coffee at 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit by corporate specification. McDonald’s coffee, if spilled, could cause full-thickness burns (third degree to the muscle/fatty tissue layer) in two to seven seconds. McDonald’s knew about this unacceptable risk for more than 10 years; it was brought to the company’s attention by other lawsuits (more than 700 reported claims from 1982 to 1992). The company’s witnesses testified that it did not intend to turn down the heat.” (The Stella Liebeck McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case FAQ | Abnormal Use)

And why were they so determined to keep serving coffee at such high temperatures? “Apparently, evidence was produced that, although McDonald’s knew people were being burned by its coffee, it, nevertheless, served the coffee hot to save money. McDonald’s saved money because internal studies showed that people drank their coffee as soon as it was purchased. Thus, customers eating in the store would not tend to ask for a free refill when coffee was so hot. Finally, it has been reported that McDonald’s executives testified that they believed that it would be cheaper to pay injury claims and worker’s compensation benefits to people burned by their coffee rather than making any of these changes.” (McDonald’s Coffee Case, a Christian Perspective) I’d add that serving very hot coffee also makes it harder to taste whether the coffee beans are low quality, or whether the coffee has been sitting stale on the burner for a long time.

I would’ve voted to dock them over $2 million in punitive damages too. The only way they were going to change their heating policy was if it cost them a bundle. And the lawsuit did prompt them to make changes. McDonald’s coffee and cups are safer now because of that case.

Yes, yes, yes. I hate it when people bring up this case as some kind of evidence of litigation gone wild. 

There are examples of stupid warnings for no reason out there, this is not one of them. 

reblogging again for even more information.
