So, a number of years ago, some lady burned herself with McDonald's coffee and got a huge settlement because . . . no one warned her that the coffee was hot. I'm a bit too lazy at the moment to track down a link to the story, but pretty much everyone has already heard about it. It is because of this woman that retailers are now required to warn you, via a label on the cup, that the hot coffee you just ordered is (durp durp) FUCKING HOT.
End of story, right?
Fucking WRONG!
Now, not only do you need a warning not to forget that your hot beverage is hot, but you apparently need instructions as to how to go about not burning yourself.
As a kid, I remember wondering why the hell fruit-roll-up packages came with instructions on how to open and eat them. This is why.
God damnit.
