"When I raised the drink to my mouth, the lid flew off and the entire contents spewed out, whereby I was scalded by the hot chocolate from the center of my breasts down to my navel," Corbin, who is representing herself, wrote in a statement of claim.
No need to go farther than this. Nobody tips a container upside down to take a sip of a hot drink. They tilt the container just enough to take a sip. The idea that the whole contents came flowing out when the lid popped off is unbelievable. >
No, no, no. Think about it: the clerk gives her the coffee with the lid on but before she can move it to her lips to take a sip, she has to open the little slit -- therefore, she was the last one to mess with the lid before drinking.
Throw the gold-digger to the wolves (even though I'm not much of a fan of McDonalds)

Now if you could find a way to expand that to 50 pages or more you could write an amicus brief and submit it to the court. This is the big whammy, can't drink from those McD lids without tearing part off.
