1:45 it's important to note that in the infamous hot coffee incident, McDonald's was serving the coffee at (iirc) 200+ degrees and had a paper trail of being warned multiple times how unsafe it was. The problem of frivolous lawsuits is so overstated and the original Hot Coffee case is a great example of how much they're misrepresented .

And definitely an example of McDonalds PR trying to frame it as frivolous. You can still find late night talk shows making fun of the situation. She only wanted her medical bills covered and they ignored her. Poor woman had to sue to get anything at all
@rfldss8910 ай бұрын
@@IjeomaThePlantMama exactly. She wanted 20k to cover her current and future medical bills related to the incident, as was to cover her daughter's loss of income while she took care of her. They refused and only offered up 800 bucks... So she had to file a lawsuit, McDonald's caught 80% of the blame and they ended up having to pay 800k in compensatory and punitive damages combined. Also, "the specialty coffee association says you have to serve coffee at scalding hot temperatures, so fast food chains aren't in the wrong for serving coffee at the upper limit of what is recommended by them" is a terrible argument lol... If they absolutely want to serve coffee that hot, they should serve it in cups that are actually appropriately specced for the use case.

What's the point of serving coffee this hot? Shaq mentioned it's expected to serve it at 160-180 Fahrenheit? I was walking with Tim Hortons recently and some coffee came up through the lid onto my thumb, gave me a minor burn that blistered. What is the point of serving coffee so hot lol, ridiculous
@lepidoptery10 ай бұрын
@@Jason-fp7vi i heard that it's because it's expected that customers are going to take it away and not drink it immediately, so it's extra hot so it will still be hot when they get around to drinking it. but obviously some ppl do drink it right away....
@mogator80810 ай бұрын
@@Jason-fp7vi when in doubt you can usually look to cost-cutting measures. maintaining the coffee at drinkable temperatures makes it go "bad" from a food safety perspective in a shorter amount of time than if it's maintained at near-boiling, so they can keep it longer/lose less on throwing out older coffee.

I remember working at a couple 3rd wave coffee shops and often the temperature is less hot than usual because of like proper extraction, flavor, etc. on a technical level it's like treating coffee beans like a steak and learning there was an option besides well-done. EXCLUSIVELY the only people that had a problem with this was old people. Same with soup, they want that stuff SCALDING. We concluded it was a generational thing, like the high temperature communicates freshness even though diner-style coffee clearly is just put on a burner at the highest temperatures so that you couldn't taste how it was basically double burnt, first in roasting the beans and second in leaving it on the burner for so long.

That kombucha ingredient is very interesting, and im surprised its taken this long to find a solution to this problem. I guess the trouble is inactivating the probiotics without killing them. But that calls into question whether they would be effective in humans in the first place, which is a requirement for any food labeled "probiotic". Most yogurts and kombucha do not claim "probiotics" because their live and active cultures have no probiotic benefits backed up by scientific articles. Sorry, i like to share 😢
@stevenjacobs275010 ай бұрын
What kombucha doesn't label itself as probiotic? Pretty much every brand I see in stores does. Do you have a link on anything about needing to have "probiotic benefits backed up by scientific articles" as a requisite for probiotic labeling? I don't think that's true but am curious to learn more.
@Glue_Stick9810 ай бұрын
@@stevenjacobs2750 21 CFR 101.14 Not a fun read, but the word "probiotic" is considered an implied health claim (paragraph a1). I think it falls in this category because of the nature of the word meaning "good" "life", or because it's a common dietary supplement, or most likely because probiotics are known to treat GI related health problems. Paragraph c states the scientific research part. There's FDA guidances and a court case regarding this stuff, but that's too deep. From what I've seen, some kombuchas claim "probiotic" and in that case they clearly state those bacteria strains, but many don't. They'll say "9 billion living organisms" or "X Billion CFUs" but not the actual word "probiotic". That way they don't need to maintain the tedious records and testing required just for a stupid word on their label. I might be wrong, next time I go to the grocery store I'll check the 'buchas

These hot coffee lawsuits really stress me out. Older folks are notorious for wanting their coffee as hot as possible, and removing their lids to manually add splenda then having a visibly tough time putting it back on in a cafe setting. People will mention how mcdonalds was serving at 200 degrees, but 195-205 is still a common temperature range at least in the specialty coffee world
@Brent-jj6qi10 ай бұрын
195-205 is a common brew temp, it shouldn't really be served that hot
