Actually, McDonald's lost that suit not because the idiot spilled it on 
her lap, but because the judge decided to do the Department of Health's 
job for them.

At the time, the styrofoam cups McDonald's used was not actually 
supposed to hold coffee at the temperature that McDonald's serves it at. 
 In theory, the cups would melt semi-regularly if the customers didn't 
drink their coffee first, although I don't recall that ever actually 
happening.

The inspectors for the Dept. of Health apparently never warned McDonalds 
that they were (more or less willingly) endangering their customers, so 
the Judge decided to do it for them.
