That Mexican Chili Lime salt poo poo is amazing on all fruit. I'd have never even considered putting something salty on fruit but this stuff seriously just ramps the flavor up to 11 and I'll never go back.

You only have to put the tiniest sprinkle on there too. A bottle lasts me like a year or more.

That does sound a lot better than plain salt. I tried his way of just regular salt on watermelon and it just didn't do it for me.

Salt is my favorite condiment, it adds the perfect tangy kick to any food. Of course, I don't ruin all my food with salt, that's not a good idea. It's all about getting the right amount on there, the precise salt to food ratio, which turns out to be a pinch or two of salt for most foods. Seasonings fill the same role as salt, but to give it a different kind of kick, zaxbys has some dang good seasoning for their fries, for example.

Pineapple and steak must be salted to prove you aren't a tasteless plebe.

And don't say a loving thing about tasting the meat not the spices, you use the loving salt to draw out the loving juices before cooking and make it taste better using its own natural meaty flavours. Have you tried using a reasonable amount of salt you dumb fat gently caress?

I feel like literal pineapple steak could work. Not “here’s some pineapple goop poured on your slab of steak” style but as like a barbecue marinade, a taco filling, or maybe a stir fry. It works for pork.

The people who have spent the past ten years breaking Mario Kart Wii, mapping the invisible checkpoints the game uses to monitor your progress, figuring out how to trick the checkpoint system, and finding the weird places in level geometry that if you hit them in the right way allow you to leave the permitted area and bypass massive sections of the track, those people own.
The ten people who have been finding those exploits and then practicing them over and over again, slicing fractions of a second off their completion times until the top times for every Mario Kart Wii track is like 30 seconds, those guys are heroes, they're living their best lives.

Grilled pineapple is goddamned delicious.

Pro Tip: Don't core it before tossing the slabs on the grill. It makes it easier to flip and serve.

IMO pineapple can work in nearly all cuisines except Italian. Putting pineapple into anything Italians tastes like a mouth full of sickly sweet, oozing herpes.

It involved second degree burns and she almost died. Coffee should not be "might literally kill you" hot. Apparently all she really wanted was for McDonald's to pay the medical costs but as a gigantic soulless monster they had to be dicks about it.

Most people don’t know the actual story, they just hear the part where a woman spills hot coffee and tries to pass off the responsibility onto someone else and not all the reasons why she was right to do so.

Aside from her horrible experience it kind of did irreparable harm to the idea of filing lawsuits with punitive damages. The public attitude is now that any lawsuit is just trying to hit your payday and is assumed to be illegitimate/frivolous from the start.

Those huge judgements against companies don't even seem to matter anyway. Like in the movie The Rainmaker, yeah he won a huge settlement but the company would never be able to pay, which seems to be how it goes in general (or they stretch it out with appeals until you run out of money to keep fighting it). The court process really needs to be streamlined and cases should be finalized, including appeals, within months, not years.

No one that jokes about it actually knows the real story, and everyone on the internet knows the real story so it's not really that unpopular. It's just old people that heard a twisted version of it in the media back when it happened.

It's weird that between an old lady and evil corporation that you prefer supporting the corporation. The coffee was served at 190 degrees Fahrenheit (87 Celsius).

Nah, Canada exists. I've been there. I met 12 people so I'm reasonably certain the population is over a dozen but they could have also been tourists.

Counterpoint: the appropriate water temperature for brewing coffee is 205 degrees, so it's always going to be pretty drat hot when you buy it. Anyone who's ever encountered coffee before should be well aware that putting a cup of coffee between your legs in a moving vehicle is a stupid thing to do whether it's served at 190 degrees or 175 degrees.

- McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns in three to seven seconds.

- The chairman of the department of mechanical engineering and biomechanical engineering at the University of Texas testified that this risk of harm is unacceptable, as did a widely recognized expert on burns, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, the leading scholarly publication in the specialty.

- McDonald’s admitted it had known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years. The risk had repeatedly been brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits.

- An expert witness for the company testified that the number of burns was insignificant compared to the billions of cups of coffee the company served each year.
At least one juror later told the Wall Street Journal she thought the company wasn’t taking the injuries seriously. To the corporate restaurant giant those 700 injury cases caused by hot coffee seemed relatively rare compared to the millions of cups of coffee served. But, the juror noted, “there was a person behind every number and I don’t think the corporation was attaching enough importance to that.”

- McDonald’s quality assurance manager testified that McDonald’s coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into Styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat.

- McDonald’s admitted at trial that consumers were unaware of the extent of the risk of serious burns from spilled coffee served at McDonald’s then-required temperature.

- McDonald’s admitted it did not warn customers of the nature and extent of this risk and could offer no explanation as to why it did not.

Coffee shops still serve coffee at a temperature hot enough to fuse your labia to your legs, so it's clear that "serving hot coffee at 180+ degrees is unreasonably dangerous and should not be allowed" was in no way the conclusion of the lawsuit. All McDonald's really did as a result of the lawsuit was start warning people that hot coffee is hot.

Yeah for a big chain the warning should cover their rear end. The big takeaway is that corporations are jerks and will go to great lengths to fund disinformation campaigns. The lady wasn't even asking for that much money, just the hospital bills. McDonald's hosed themselves.

I often wonder why every gas station on earth still chooses to serve their coffee nuclear hot 25 years after the McDonalds lawsuit. Honestly I don't get why it needs to stay at that temp once it's brewed it's loving horrid sitting there trying to test if it's gonna burn your lips off or not.
