Say the line, Bart!
Stories like this get a lot of unwarranted attention because corporations want the laws to be changed to make it even harder to sue them.
Yaay!
Yeah my initial reaction was "oh boy hot McDonald's coffee discourse 2.0"
This is called tort reform, "changes in the civil justice system in common law countries that aim to reduce the ability of plaintiffs to bring tort litigation or to reduce damages they can receive".

Torts are literally the only thing left that gives regular people the power to credibly threaten big companies when they engage in flagrant wrongdoing . When I was younger and less political savvy, I always wondered why tort reform was such a persistent part of the GOP platform. Once I spent many years working at companies who manufactured products that could be a hazard, I realized that every time a decision was made that ensured the safety of the customer, it was because “otherwise we might get sued”. This persistent threat of huge damage payouts from civil suits was literally the only thing that drove decision making away from screwing or killing the customers. You better believe these fuckers would put plutonium in the velveeta if they thought it would be profitable and wouldn’t get them sued.
seriously, it's dope and has proper "dirtbag leftist" energy
Lawyers doing video game style tactical reload shit to get their prep+cook time down to 3:30
<3:30, you'd probably need a hyperberic chamber to cook it in a microwave faster than that
Secure the bag lady
Also please stop buying this stuff folks
oh my god
if they put the longer time on the front people will type that number into the microwave nearly every time lol
absolute support though lmao thats funny as shit
It's worse. They'd have to use approximately 3:44 (or whatever). And they'd get annoyed tweets, emails, etc saying "What do you mean APPROXIMATELY! Is it 3:44 or not?"
When I was shift manager I'd let my coworkers go and add the hot water to their noodle cups or whatever before clocking out for lunch because fuck having to scarf down molten food because you spent half your lunch cooking it and waiting for it to cool down. Or if they were ordering take-out I'd let them call 15-20 minutes before they had to clock out so they could get maximum chow time.
