Being a non coffee drinker myself, I'm kind of curious as to how easy or difficult it is to open McDonald's creamer with one hand.

I don't use cream, and I don't drink McDonalds coffee.
Drinking their coffee is a sign of poor judgement.

I can't open those little tin tops with one hand and sometimes two hands aren't enough so I use my teeth to get it started then try to pry the foil off without spilling the cream all over myself.

I would rate it between difficult and improbable.

Just an opinion from Coffee Bean worshipper. ☕️☕️☕️

On OP

Is cake art? If it uses an aperture it is probably art and if uses dowels it is probably just cake. Artisian cakes generally use things in addition to the actual cake for structure such as rice cereal, modeling edibles and the like or to enhance appearance such as blown sugar or chocolate work.

I specialze in anti-gravity which is a technique I taught myself when I was sculpting the minatures for our haunted dollhouse. My favorite was my Potions cauldron which had a floating test tube above it pouring out a rainbow liquid which turned to gold once it got into the cauldron. Inside the cauldon was a bubbly mixture of green goo with various sizes of eyeballs in it and one skeleton hand raised up and gripping the cauldron edge from inside.

When "I" make cake ... it's art. 😉

Most of the cakes I make have 'me' stamped all over them as I tends towards goth, macabre and horror as my favored themes but I can't resist throwing a little magic in, too.

As far as things such as human prejudice, bias, discrimination and the like ... it is not a right, it is often a wrong ... but it is also an ability which most folks possess and some act upon and that is about all I have on it. As usual, there are consequences to indulging in damn near anything. Risk/Reward and all that.

That’s because those jurors were able to hear all the facts — including those presented by McDonald’s — and see the extent of Mrs. Liebeck’s injuries. Ask anyone who criticizes the case as a “frivolous lawsuit” that resulted in “jackpot justice” if they have done the same.

Another point you didn't mention was that MacDonald's hat been cited during health department inspections multiple times and had been repeatedly fined for keeping there coffee too hot as it was a safety hazard to employees and customers alike.

The lady who was burned was an elderly lady (I seem to remember 72) riding in the passenger seat of a car and spilled her coffee while trying to add cream and sugar before her driver pulled out of the parking lot.

The original lawsuit was just for medical bills. The jury looked at the repeated fines over the very issue that got the lady hurt and tried to seriously impact MacDonald's southern California region.

The punitive fine was for all the coffee revenue in the regional district where the access happened for a reasonable period of time. The judge kind of squicked when the first figure came out to be 16 million dollars and reduced it.

Personally, I think MacDonald's region there should have been fined all their coffee money for the amount of time it took the lady to get treatment and recover fully. Over 20 million would have given MacDonald's a bit of a reality check. How else to you punish an international corporation than to imprison their money?

From your article:

quote:

Mrs. Liebeck was not driving when her coffee spilled, nor was the car she was in moving. She was the passenger in a car that was stopped in the parking lot of the McDonald’s where she bought the coffee. She had the cup between her knees while removing the lid to add cream and sugar when the cup tipped over and spilled the entire contents on her lap.

Anyone stupid enough to place a to go cup of hot coffee between their knees is asking for trouble.

As for the McDonald's policy of serving dangerously hot coffee, having personally gotten coffee at McDonald's in just about every state, and taking a drink almost immediately, and never once burning my mouth, this sounds like more bullshit.

For this to be true, either McDonald's has its employees microwave already hot coffee to boiling or they are purchasing specially designed coffee makers that keeps coffee at the boiling point.

Since the trial, McDonalds has not lowered the temperature of the coffee they serve, and according to the National Coffee Association, McDonald's has always served coffee at the desired temp of between 176 to 194 degrees, and the whole fucking reason Liebeck won the fucking case was that even though there was a warning on the cup, the jury felt it was not worded strongly enough OR written large enough.

In point of fact, this case is one of the primary fucking reasons congress passed the Tort reform bills. This case is considered one of the prime examples of a frivolous lawsuit, and if McDonald's had continued its appeals, the case would have been thrown out. The reason the final settlement was reached for under 600k was that McDonald's saw no gain in financially destroying a person, which is exactly what would have happened if McDonalds had continued the court process.

Hell the judge in the original case reduced the amount of damages the jury awarded, by a substantial amount, which should indicate what his thoughts were on the entire case.

Well that would mean you expect him to cling to his faith in all matters, instead of just the ones that suit him. This would be forthrightness, honesty, sincerity... Dare I say righteousness.

(Of course each of those is also an antonym of hypocrisy)

If he discriminates, it brings into question his character in all things, but...thats just me:)
