It’s served at 165 but should only be served to people whose IQ is over 60.

It’s getting to the point at which restaurants will need to have people sign a release before eating there:

- Our ingredients are listed. We are not responsible for food allergies/reactions.
- Our coffee and hot foods are cooked such that they will be at edible temperatures when served. However, times from preparation to service to the customer can vary. Customers should always use caution to prevent burns.
- Aspiration of any food can occur unexpectedly and cause choking. Always use care and discretion when consuming food.

Etc. Etc...

Welding metal you can get very localized 3 degree burn outside picking up a large hot piece.

“5 seconds at 140 deg contact with the skin can cause 3rd deg burns.”

3rd degree burns involve charring of the skin and a smell like BBQ. Unless the liquid is a 400F metal one has to continue to heat the substance (or it be ectothermic) for anything but a superficial burn.

She looks porky enough to need ,lots of BBQ sauce - I bet she would’ve sued if it was too cold too - too bad she was in such a hurry to open a container that she found too hot to comfortable hold onto...

Some juries are like the getaway driver for bank robberies. Only they are helping to rob businesses and individuals

That's how I see them. They shouldn't be immuned from the consequences of their attempts to steal other people's money.

That isn’t a measure of hot barbecue sauce. How far into steel plate one drop can go is a proper measure, sort of like alien spit.

That is an excellent idea.

Would prevent a lot of gold-digging.

Me, either. It is usually a room temperature.

With her major cash award, Monita will soon balloon up over 400 lbs. “I need more sauce over here. Preferably, under 189 degrees. No, wait. Give me 212.”

“3rd degree burns involve charring of the skin and a smell like BBQ.”

Not necessarily.
Had a passed out friend who’s leg
was severerly burned (required skin
grafts to repair), after exposure
to a heater vent all night.
Badly burned, but not blackened,
and it didn’t smell.
3rd deg burns are damage done to a
depth of muscle tissue.

How did they know the exact temperature of the sauce?

Because things like that are kept in a warmer with a readout that tells you how hot the sauce is. Now days they have memory on the device that keeps a record and probably sends it to someone's phone.
