No, sun tea is garbage. Some of the best brewed tea in the world is chinese tea, served STILL BOILING in the pot.

In addition, look on a package of QUALITY teas from around the world, and you will see in the directions to pour boiling water over the tea leaves, steep for 3-5 minutes, then drain the leaves OR to put the leaves in the water and boil with the leaves in.

"sun tea" is weaker than "real tea" because (1) it's not brewed with boiling water and (2) it's diluted. Tea leaves release their oils and therefore flavor best at boiling temperature.

Yes hot coffee will burn skin, even on old ladies in sweat pants. But even hot coffee in sweat pants should not remove muscle. That detail is the major difference between MacDonalds old coffee and current coffee.

Put ANY hot thing (liquid or solid) against the body for long enough and it will burn badly. The sweatpants acted like a sponge and held that hot liquid to her skin. If the coffee had spilled on to her bare skin, yes, it may have burned her, but not to the extent she was burned due to the sweatpants' soaking up the hot liquid, and subsequent sticking to her skin.

Coffee is hot. You think I'm going to slurp up a Starbuck's the second I get it? No. Why? BECAUSE IT'S HOT. Am I gonna put it between my legs because I'm too friggin lazy to hold it in my hand or wait to "fix it up" until I can set it on a STABLE surface? No. Why? BECAUSE IT'S HOT.

Stupid people are suing because they can find attorneys that understand that this country is filled with stupid people that don't think for themselves.

Next we're gonna see a lawsuit because ice cream was too cold and there were no warning labels, so that epileptic seizure was brought on by the brain freeze and by god, Ben and Jerry's needs to pay!!!
