There is no more "too hot" coffee sold at McDonalds.
When an elderly woman endured intense physical pain which resulted in
personal disfigurement that required corrective surgery after spilling a
scalding hot beverage in her lap at McDonald's drive up window, the
authorities finally woke up and decided it was not such a bright idea to
serve scalding hot beverages to people in moving vehicles.. Coffee
temperature is now reduced and regulated by law at McDonalds and probably
all drive up windows.
I tend to appreciate many of the public safety rules. It didn't happen to
me but that does not stop me from deeply sympathizing with the woman to
whom it did happen.

I think the most valid reason for what you call the "nanny state" is NOT
to protect consumers. It's government and corporate interest merger.
Government agencies, especially of late, work primarily to protect
industry profits and monopolies. Lawyers and suing are just part of a
little side show. It has gotten tougher and tougher to beat big insurance
and big pharma racket. Sure take the wrong leg off during an operation you
are likely to collect something if you live long enough. Might be better
to have the leg. A lot of new legislation is now in force that protects
pharma and places limits on what people can collect for damages. Most
people damaged by pharma drugs and surgeries and infections related to
hospitals don't collect a dime. Behind that anti lawyer spin are a lot of
big insurance and big pharma talking heads. How many people have collected
damages for too hot of coffee since that one case was fully exploited by
the corporate controlled media? Probably none.

People are so used to NOT taking responsibility for themselves and the
Nanny government doesn't help. This started when all the danged lawyers
started suing for stupid stuff, like the lady and the McDonald's coffee.
Come on now, how much common sense does it take to know that coffee is
hot, and you need to be careful with it?
