E-Mail Joke Of The Day.....

[Tuesdak]

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot . She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Careful swallowing the well funded Kool-aid smear campaign the victim of Corporate Arrogance had to endure along with many children and others scalded by coffee hot enough to test summer engine thermostat opening up in.

You would think Common Sense would NOT serve 190F Scalding Hot Coffee. The case forced McDonalds to make a safer product!

The optimal temp for brewing coffee is 195-205°.

Common sense should tell people coffee is hot. McDonald's (and others) is now serving a sub-standard product.

Common sense says you don't hand scalding coffee to someone in an easily collapsable cup. Especially since the cups get much softer with higher temps. What they did was negligent, in order to use a bit less less coffee per pot, and caused literal skin melting burns.

McDonalds has always had a sub-standard product, and higher temps actually make sub-standard coffee worse because it extracts more bitter oil than brewing at a lower temp. That's why cold brewed, though it takes much longer, is smoother.

Hmmm. Guess that is why McDonalds does not sell a cold brew! (Beer)


Sorry- could not help myself!

Common sense tells me not to put a cup of hot anything between my legs while sitting in a car and then remove the top.

Common sense went out the window when they put safety sticker on a baby stroller that reads " Remove baby before folding the stroller"! Heaven help us!

We drive rough riding 1 ton and 3/4 ton pickups. Even a carefully placed coffee cup with a lid in a RAM OEM cup-holder is subject to being spilled on you in a slow speed right turn with a major bump/pothole, "We don't use culverts here", etc. I have to actually call my auto detail expert as I recently had some coffee exit it's cup due to a bump in a turn. Paints and seat were given a coffee treatment. There is a reason Auto Detailing is profitable and some of that profit be mess cleanup.

Because I ask for kids temperature and/or ice it myself it's not a scalding burn risk in a rough riding vehicle.

Some of the roads heave here giving you an unexpected moment of airtime say on an on ramp with your only warning being a trike rider launched up and nearly out of their seat ahead of you. The sidewall cuts and like tire failures from road hazards I have experienced are another level but rare enough to be excluded.

Having been rear ended in pickups of my past ... the effects of collision are wearing said drink as well as most of it going down the defroster vents.

The subject lady is due credit for having the vehicle stopped when adding things to said coffee. IDK how the 700 other scalded people contacted the 190F coffee.

After all with a HO Cummins one has to warn passengers to not drink at stoplights in case the light changes and they have to suddenly choke it down or end up wearing the drink.

At least years ago, McD's coffee was known to stay liquid at -25°F overnight.

Today's headline irony...it's not as long as the pickup but doubt it's any lighter...
