You’re really this dumb or just being obtuse? No one “forces down” really hot coffee, you sip it, if you choose to “force it down” that’s on you. I should not be limited by the stupidity of others.
I really don't get the authoritarian bent here, but maybe it's all the collectivists/socialists frequenting this place. Or maybe they simply agree with the McDonalds ruling. This isn't like when Libertarians argue for legalizing all drugs. There's no societal knock-on effects if someone wants to buy dangerous food or personal items. Per the law of survival of the fittest, it might actually make society safer if we let stupid people Darwin themselves more often.
You could argue that McDs should have paid her medical bills and put up warning stickers though. Truth in advertising is important, and not all consumers want or expect the same temperature coffee.
The authoritarian bent... that if a business describes itself as a restaurant its products should be fit for human consumption? The woman did not ask for coffee that was too hot to drink. Nobody did; McDonald's own research showed that their drive-through customers wanted to be able to start drinking their coffee immediately.
Except it wouldn’t, it didn’t, and consumers demanded it. Do you need rubber padding for sharp corners?
The lady was trying to pay for skin grafts. I assume it would have burned her insides at least as bad if she had managed to force it down her throat.
