Default Crappy coffee at Mcdonalds

Literally.

Of course, any of you who have been to Regina know this comes as no surprise as the water there usually tastes like it contains feces, and McD's coffee is made using tapwater.

Considering there is feces in the meat at McDonalds, why not continue the theme throughout the menu?

Have any of these "I found something bad in the food/beverage I purchased at a major fast food franchise" stories ever held up under any kind of scrutiny?

Probably not but didn't some woman win millions for spilling her own hot coffee in her crotch and then suing because the coffee was too hot?

You mean the coffee that caused 3rd degree burns?

Did they run a DNA test on the said dookie.

It was probably hers.

If Macdonalds is going to add foreign objects to their food and drinks, the kids there will do it subtley. They would have spit in the coffee or rubbed one out with the creamer. But they're probably not going to precision dookie in a coffee.

Hmm... that was actually quite interesting. I guess I never knew the full extent of the case and just assumed it was another ridiculous frivolous american lawsuit.

Yeah, this is always the case people use when referring to "frivolous US lawsuits" but once you know the whole story then perhaps there was some merit to the case.

Unfortunately, I find that reading deeper there usually is good reason why some of these cases get these awards. Judges aren't stupid. People who re-tell the story and leave out important parts to mislead and prove a point are the problem.


Edit: and I finished off my morning McDonalds coffee just before I read the article.
