To be clear, the hot coffee warning is there because a particular McDonald's franchisee elected to keep their coffee at boiling levels and then serve it to unsuspecting customers at the drive-thru. This practice resulted in extremely serious burns to the genitals of the woman who famously sued.

I take your larger point, but I feel your example is one better suited to Seinfeld or a comedy act.

Just to add to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restau...

One of the most misunderstood cases in american history and the misunderstanding means that many states created laws to limit exposure which IMO is extremely bad for the average american.
