I'm going to McDonalds because I heard they have a fish sandwich?
Is this true? I hope they couldn't possibly eff this up, too...

It is. The coffee cup is well-designed, as well - the coffee's heat remains in the cup where it belongs with the container merely feeling warm to the touch.

@rinkydinkydoink They apparently learned from that famous lawsuit ?

YES - I remember that. What was the settlement exactly? I seem to recall King's Ransom-like numbers being bandied about.
Here we go.........
The original jury in the Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants case awarded Stella Liebeck $2.9 million, which was later reduced by the judge to $480,000. The parties ultimately settled for an undisclosed amount that was less than the judge's reduction, though news reports indicate it was less than \(\$500,000\).Jury's initial award: A jury awarded Liebeck \(\$200,000\) in compensatory damages, which was reduced to \(\$160,000\) because they found her 20% at fault. They also awarded \(\$2.7\) million in punitive damages, bringing the total to \(\$2.9\) million.Judge's reduction: The trial judge reduced the punitive damages to \(\$480,000\).Final settlement: The parties later settled for a confidential amount, which was reported to be less than \(\$500,000\).
