that McDonald's case is a classic example of corporate media and marketing fooling the masses
most people don't know the actual case and if they read the minutes they would agree with the plaintiff, not mcdonalds
at the time, McDonald's was serving coffee 20 degrees over the temperature allowed by the health department and they knew it.
this fact was testified to by corporate officials at trial
in addition, McDonald's was warned that their coffee was served so hot if spilled it would cause third degree burns, this knowledge was also acknowledged by mcdonalds officials at trial
they insisted on serving the coffee this hot anyway because it made them more money. (true, better tasting, less drank with free refills, more satisfaction)
the person injured was an elderly women who needed skin grafts across her genitalia.
she didn't want to sue McDonald's, she wanted her medical bills paid for and that's it.
McDonald's insisted on the law suit so they could litigate the right to serve the coffee at the temperature they wanted instead of the temperature that every other restaurant served.
Now, I suppose there are people that would still think it's ok to serve coffee above temperatures known so hot to cuase disfiguration if heaven forbid it spilled on their wife, or their child, or their grandparents...but these people are few and far between
when you see these law suits that look so rediculous it will fly in the face of reason, there are usually underlying circumstances that made the point

“Mithras, the sun-god, was born of a virgin in a cave on December 25, and worshipped on Sunday, the day of the conquering sun. He was a savior-god who rivaled Jesus in popularity. He died and was resurrected in order to become a messenger god, an intermediary between man and the good god of light, and the leader of the forces of righteousness against the dark forces of the god evil.”
