In this episode of Conspiracy Club, Tom and Emir discuss the story of the scalding incident involving an elderly woman and a cup of McDonald's Joe that lead to a lawsuit that changed the warning labels on coffee cups. That story was twisted by corporate interests, business-centric lawmakers, and entertainers trying to make an easy joke into a complete work of fiction. What really happened to Stella Liebeck and what stood in between her and justice? Listen now to hear the story.
