The brewing temperature of the coffee is irrelevant. It was served at a temperature McDonald’s acknowledged they knew A) was too hot to drink right away, and B) would cause 3rd degree burns if spilled on someone. Yet they continued to have a policy of serving coffee at that temperature despite hundreds of previous complaints. And someone spilling coffee on themselves in a drive thru is totally foreseeable. I agree with you that McD’s wasn’t negligent, though. They were reckless.

I don’t get why this woman complained. I know a guy that pays a lady to spill hot coffee on his crotch.

Coffee temps at Starbucks are so inconsistent. One day my drink will be Luke warm and the next it'll be scorching hot for 20 minutes. Would seem like these coffee companies would have a more consistent method of serving a hot drink.

He’s the person that would sue McDonald

You mean file a lawsuit under these facts:

According to Stella Liebeck’s attorney, S. Reed Morgan, the jury heard the following evidence in the case:

  • By corporate specifications, McDonald's sells its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit;
  • Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns (the skin is burned away down to the muscle/fatty-tissue layer) in two to seven seconds;
  • Third-degree burns do not heal without skin grafting, debridement and whirlpool treatments that cost tens of thousands of dollars and result in permanent disfigurement, extreme pain and disability of the victim for many months, and in some cases, years
  • The chairman of the department of mechanical engineering and bio-mechanical engineering at the University of Texas testified that this risk of harm is unacceptable, as did a widely recognized expert on burns, the editor in chief of the leading scholarly publication in the specialty, the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation;
  • McDonald's admitted that it has known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years -- the risk was brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits, to no avail;
  • From 1982 to 1992, McDonald's coffee burned more than 700 people, many receiving severe burns to the genital area, perineum, inner thighs, and buttocks;
  • Not only men and women, but also children and infants, have been burned by McDonald's scalding hot coffee, in some instances due to inadvertent spillage by McDonald's employees;
  • At least one woman had coffee dropped in her lap through the service window, causing third-degree burns to her inner thighs and other sensitive areas, which resulted in disability for years;
  • Witnesses for McDonald's admitted in court that consumers are unaware of the extent of the risk of serious burns from spilled coffee served at McDonald's required temperature;
  • McDonald's admitted that it did not warn customers of the nature and extent of this risk and could offer no explanation as to why it did not;
  • McDonald's witnesses testified that it did not intend to turn down the heat -- As one witness put it: “No, there is no current plan to change the procedure that we're using in that regard right now;”
  • McDonald's admitted that its coffee is “not fit for consumption” when sold because it causes severe scalds if spilled or drunk;
  • Liebeck's treating physician testified that her injury was one of the worst scald burns he had ever seen.
Moreover, the Shriner’s Burn Institute in Cincinnati had published warnings to the franchise food industry that its members were unnecessarily causing serious scald burns by serving beverages above 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

I’m probably just being my normal far left snowflake here, but man that article is just mean spirited.

I don’t think the lawsuit has a leg to stand on, but I also don’t want someone to fail. Idk, it just seemed really tacky and wrong. I get that he’s burned his bridges with TCU, but I wish fans wouldn’t do crap like this either. It makes us look like crummy Baylor fans.

It's not always chicken
dairy products and poor manufacturing processes lead to it as well

I find joy in knowing he is somewhere on here lurking and reading it all.

That's probably where all his animosity towards "us" comes from.

This website does not represent the TCU fanbase but it sure is close.
