And keep in mind, that's not 700 burns. That's 700 complaints that went far
enough that the lawyers were able to find documentation in McDonald's records.
The people who got burned and didn't complain, or just went in and gave the
manager an earful, aren't counted in that 700....


How many of them stuffed the cup between their legs though? I think it
she would have sqeezed the cup too hard and burned her hand and sued
McDonalds for that people would be more understainding...
