To be fair, she had a legitimate case. At the time, McDonald's kept their coffe a full a 40 degrees hotter than other places - hot enough to cause third-degree burns in seconds. By convention, most places keep their coffee at around 140 degrees F. Hot enough to be enjoyable, but not so hot as to cause severe burns if spilled. McD's, however, kept theirs at 180 degrees F at that time. This not only is extremely dangerous, but also makes the coffee taste like crap, since it is hot enough to boil away the caffeol that gives good coffee its aroma and flavor.
