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.
No pictures? Disappointed, McDonalds spent millions trying to scrub them from the Internet.

I have to admit that i didn’t expect that not boiling water could do so much damage.

212° is the boiling point of water
212 is the boiling point. Either way, that’s going to cause some nasty burns.
°F not °C
if it was past the boiling point it would have already boiled off
FYI I Can’t see it because it’s blurred and I don’t have an account.
