During the trial it was revealed that McDonald’s knew that heating their coffee to this temperature would be dangerous, but they did it anyways because it would save them money. When you serve coffee that is too hot to drink, it will take much longer for a person to drink their coffee, which means that McDonald’s will not have to give out as many free refills of coffee. This policy by the fast food chain is the reason the jury awarded $2.7 million dollars in punitive damages in the McDonald’s hot coffee case. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their inappropriate business practice.

    Butter dispensers at the cinema to soak their popcorn is my favourite. Like it’s fucking tomato sauce on a hotdog or something!

      Don’t you dare put your ‘tomato sauce’ on our hot dogs. It’s mustard or don’t even talk to me

        Don’t worry, it’s not real butter, it’s just cheap, coloured trans fats.
