That's because it wasn't McDs fault.  The woman put the coffee between her 
legs and then either spilled it or accidentally closed her legs, but either 
way, she didn't use common sense.  Great, our coffees hot.  How is that a big 
secret?  You can feel some of the heat through the hot liquuids cup, now 
that's the first clue.  Second clue is that it is common knowledge.
Peace.
