Okay, I think the best way to answer this is to say that McDonald's is in the wrong for selling coffee like that, but that they should not be fined for such behaviour, since it is not illegal, and that the buyer should beware.

By best, I mean the way that would make the most people happy.

is it not common knowledge that coffee is hot and that it will scald ya if spilled?......why should macdonalds coffee be different that the stuff grandpa used to make?....i'm sure the lawyer was paid his 40% of the settlement.....

you know, i personally think that macdonalds food is all engineered to make the most money for the least $ input.....chicken macnuggets are a travesty to chickendom........and then there was the french fry fiasco........have you ever looked to see what was in a mac's "milkshake"?.......eeeewwwww!........

I don't think Macdonalds should have paid a dime in this case.......but, it would not hurt my feelings to see them (and many others) out of the business of poisoning people......

Is Susan or Candice (my normal Kaladi barista's) "in-the-wrong" because they serve my coffee with the espresso shots in it at 180°F?

Perhaps Congress should take the matter up. There are always some people trying to legislate common sense....–

In the UK they don't sell milkshakes, just "shakes".

I see......they change the name so that people might believe they are drinking a milkshake, but are indeed drinking a frozen concoction of chemicals......

there is no truth in advertising........
