Maybe it's just me but drinking a hot coffee immediately after you get it isn't the smartest thing to do

[@teainortakoy]

true especially if its black coffee. I have black tea and know to wait a few minutes then sip it really carefully.

[@pensuls7595]

the McDonald's coffee lawsuit was different though. iirc the coffee machine was broken or something and was brewing coffee way too hot and they just didn't bother to fix it. the coffee was so hot it melted the lady's genitals; her labia fused to her thigh and required skin grafts. in her lawsuit all she wanted was her medical bills covered, but she was awarded a lot more because McDonald's knew this was a problem, had been fined for this previously, and decided the fines were cheaper than adjusting their coffee temp.

[@aweinbrom]

@@pensuls7595 I actually ate a subway meatball and cheese footlong once. It was so hot and because of the cheese sticking to the roof of my mouth, the covering was melted off and exposed for 4 months. It was the most painful thing that has happened to me. For nearly 4 months I could not eat without being in pain. I did not sue, but I do have a new way of looking at the mcdonals and other situations based on my own experience

[@robbiescheid4127]

Exactly that famous McDonald's coffee lawsuit wasn't frivolous their coffee used to be so hot it caused third degree burns she had no choice but to sue to get the medical bills covered but that doesn't give people the right to copy that for their own gain

[@amlockwoods]

@@robbiescheid4127 it takes common sense for one person to not drink the coffee when it’s hot, but it’s the business job to check and make sure they are within safe and regulatory practices for the better of their customers.

[@panda367]

Haven't seen someone mention this in the comments yet, but I want it to be known that the original plaintiff in the McDonald's "hot coffee'" lawsuit, Stella Liebeck, was a 79-year-old woman that suffered THIRD-DEGREE BURNS ON HER PELVIS and had to be hospitalized for 8 days to get extensive skin grafts. McDonald's knew they were serving their coffee at too hot of a temperature but refused to do anything about it or initially settle with her. She was opening the coffee to add cream and sugar in a parked car with no cupholders (1989 Ford Probe). It's not directly mentioned in the clip but thought something needed to be said here since this is what everyone thinks about when they hear about a hot coffee lawsuit.

[@alexaonther0x]

Thank you for clarifying. I admit, when I first heard about that lawsuit I thought it was someone just trying to cash in but I'm happy I know the background now

[@Tmorr46]

[@nataliet8984]

the best episodes are still the ones john runs. he's calm and objective, and lets everybody express their opinions without ever making them feel judged or imposing his own viewpoints on them. the other hosts are frustratingly bad at that.

[@edithdlp8045]

I love when John Quinones pops out, "this is John Quinones". He is WWYD. The other ones are not.

[@cedricduyongco]

I agree. Other guest host immediately express their bias when they go up to the person being interviewed.

[@nataliet8984]

​@@cedricduyongco or while they're watching the scenes unfold, and to me the whole point of wwyd was always to highlight that different people react differently and always have their own reasons for doing so. so yeah - disappointing.

[@RealEyezRuben]

I disagree with this stance. The hosts will obviously be biased in favor of the person being mistreated or against malicious behavior being displayed. They also only share their views with the guests AFTER the experiment is already over. I love John but his approach is arguably more problematic. He allows ignorant ass people to explain their reactions and make little effort to share the perspective of the “victim.” HOW does this approach teach the participants anything? If the participant’s views are rooted in bigotry, ignorance, or discrimination, they deserved to be judged and clearly need someone to educate them. If that makes the participants uncomfortable… then the purpose of the show is being fulfilled.

How hot was tht fn nugget to give tht lil girl a 2nd degree burn?!?!

[@Nymeria64]

That’s what I want to know. They should never serve something like that. I felt bad for the older woman that got 3rd degree burns from McDonald’s coffee and they defamed her character over it.

[@jbird4478]

Nuggets come from a deep fry, and that can be really bloody hot (~200 degrees / ~400 in fahrenheit for you Americans). That's on the parents to be honest. Deep fried food should not be served at a temperature at which it is save to play with it. We can't all be eating lukewarm food just because some parents don't watch their kids.
