[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually found the commericals to be strange also.  I never eat at IHOP, so I never heard of putting a splash of pancake batter in omeletes, but I was surprised that they were playing this off as a good thing.  I wonder if they got sued for not being forthright about putting carbs/gluten into their eggs, and this was their positive spin on making sure they were being transparent.  [/quote]

Well I guess in a world where McDonalds can get sued for not telling people that coffee is hot, anything is possible.  :roll: [/quote]

I saw a documentary on the hot coffee case and was surprised by how awful the burns were that the woman sustained when the coffee spilled on her.  From what I remember, the coffee was close to boiling and MCD had already been informed by several people that they had been injured due to the abnormally hot temperature of their coffee.  MCD did nothing, and then this woman was burned.  I was horrified when I saw the photos.  The woman, who was elderly, was burned to her bone.  In my opinion, MCD was rightfully sued in the hot coffee case.  I think many people would agree if they'd seen the photos and heard more details about the case, other than "someone sued MCD for serving hot coffee" a statement which of course, on its face, sounds ridiculous.[/quote]

Thanks for adding this.  I was about to add some details about the case as well, but you covered it.  I also heard that McDs was warned several times - and they kept the coffee very hot (boiling??) to cover up that the coffee was weak - I think that's another reason she won.  I believe they not only put warning labels on their coffee, but added this "high quality coffee" in their marketing.  Nothing like turning lemons (lawsuit) into lemonade (marketing add for good coffee).  [/quote]
