Despite it's folk lore status, the McDonald's coffee case was actually legit.

TLDR: McDonald's was producing coffee at far higher temperature than one would normally consume coffee, knew for a decade of hundreds of reports of serious burns from their coffee, and didn't make any effort to either mitigate it or inform the public. The coffee was hot enough to scald human flesh and the woman who got burned nearly died from her injuries.
I agree, I'm always quick to point out the legitimacy of that case whenever people make fun of it lol
