Prompt
do a meme-style impactful poster: Main Visual: A McDonald’s coffee cup with flames coming out of it (showing the “too hot” issue). A thermometer next to it reading 190°F (88°C) (actual temp of the coffee!). A bandaged hand reaching out (symbolizing the burns). Catchy Title Ideas: “Too Hot to Handle?” “When Coffee Turned Into a Lawsuit!” Quick Info Sections (Minimal Effort): What Happened? McDonald’s coffee was served at 190°F (too hot for human consumption). A woman spilled it on her lap and suffered 3rd-degree burns. McDonald’s Response: First, they refused to take responsibility. Later, after backlash, they settled for $2.7M and changed policies. The Impact: Coffee lids improved, cups have warnings now.
