that was my feeling. mcd's should have filed a claim for "errors and
omissions".


btw, a few years after this case, the specialty coffee association of
america had a full-day seminar on burn/spill issues which was very
very interesting (mostly legal and scientific issues, but also
included some info on consumer preferences for HOT coffee). i'm
trying to get them to hold another such seminar with updated
information, as there was some research pending at the time of the
first seminar.
