I've heard this story has been distorted in the telling and is actually unfair on the suer. I mean, yes, hot coffee is hot, but when it's like 90 degrees celsius that's something else entirely.

That's pretty reasonable for newly made coffee; its 10°C under the boiling point.  Coffee is brewed at that temperature.

To get even more off topic... What would YOU do for a Klondike bar?

I don't know, pay?

Spilling hot coffee on yourself may be stupid, but as a coffee manufacturer you should be aware that it's likely and try to make it "ow" rather than "aaaaargh" and a hospital visit.

A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full
thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body,
including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin
areas.

How did it get all the way to the "buttocks"? If I had spilled some coffee on myself, I would have immediately gone out of the car (as it was motionless, anyway), without the having it burn all my genitalia.

Tight clothes can hold it ageist the skin.
Also, she was probably sitting on her butt, and that much liquid would travel fast.

Jeeze, I couldn't imagine my cajones being burned to the 3rd degree.

Jeez I wouldn't think of putting a container of possibly scalding hot liquid near my nads for fuck's sake.

I'm sorry, but my first thought when I heard this story many years ago was "I hope she didn't have kids yet, and that she can't anymore because of this."  People like these are the reason curling irons and pushbrooms have labels that say "For external use only".  Yes, think about that.

Who the fuck would use curling irons internally...?

Also, members of the female species are not as protective of their nads as we are. They are just not in danger all that often.
