Totally differerent situation. No one forces anyone to eat fast food.
Okay, right, no one forces anyone to drink coffee. But that coffee I was
served was *way* too hot.

Believe it or not, Jill, some people actually LIKE their
coffee so hot they have to let it cool before drinking it!
(And it's a lot easier to give it time to cool than to
persuade a restaurant to heat it up again!)

It's a matter of knowing what you're getting into. We all know that
fast food has a lot of calories, so if you gain weight by eating a lot
of it, you shouldn't be surprised. But I'm pretty sure that most people
did not know that McD's coffee could cause burns requiring skin grafts.
You can't make a responsible decision if you're not given all the facts.

Perhaps it might not "require skin grafts" but any warm
liquid in styrofoam, placed in a postition where it could
spill onto your more "intimate" areas, might be expected to
cause some discomfort! (Some "responsible decisions" only
require a modicum of common sense, the precise "facts"
aren't neccessary.)

Well, in our litigious society, they have to print warnings
against doing all sorts of things that used to be considered
just plain common sense. (Like telling people to avoid
getting a screw-driver too close to their eyes, because it
might cause injury....duh.)


But my sympathy stops the moment someone starts to blame someone else for
their problem.

Exactly! What ever happened to "personal responsibility"?
Nowadays it seems most everyone is looking for someone else
to blame for his/her own mistakes!

Until I went to take my classes for
my insurance license I'd never had coffee at a McDonald's before. You
remember them because I think you're citing that as case law. I was early
for class one day so I ran into McDonald's and ordered a cup of coffee. It
was so f***'ng hot I couldn't even take a sip of it without burning my
tongue.

Just as well - it's hardly worth drinking, anyway!

our new car in Australia has 5 cupholders. We made damn sure of that
before committing! ;-)

Wait, 5? 1 for you, 1 for Dennis and 1 for Vino. You've got 2 extra!

LOL! I can just see Vino in the back, in his "kitty" seat, sipping on a
latte ;-)

Well, ideally we'd all be focusing on our driving. There would be a
lot fewer accidents that way.

Of course, there's an obvious counter argument when it comes to cup
holders. If you're going to be transporting coffee in your car
anyway, it's a lot less distracting having it in a cup holder than in
your hands or between your thighs.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the latest Allstate ad depicts a
guy getting into an accident while drinking coffee and driving ...

I believe that, but honestly, if you'd tried to take a sip of this stuff
without sitting for 15 minutes first letting it cool you'd have gotten a
nasty burn on your tongue. Maybe some folks have the luxury of sitting
doing nothing for 15 minutes in a McDonald's. I had 15 minutes before I
needed to be in class across the street, not 15 minutes to sit and stare out
the window before sipping my java... er, lava.

I have to say this I don't eat that type of fast food. I found that when I
stopped eating it I felt better felt more energetic. about the only fast
food I will get is a hot dog or a pizza hand made only
