German tourist sued a New York taqueria for salsa that was too spicy. Judge says ‘the spice is often the point’

He should keep this up and keep suing people, he will become American in no time

I hope he never goes to Thailand

To be clear, the ‘a woman sued McDonald’s over hot coffee!’ Case was a legit case where she deserved all of that and more
@skinnylatte Yeah. I only learned this later, and before that it was just an example of how litigious the US is, but it was a deliberate choice on the part of McDonalds to serve the coffee that hot for some silly internal optimisation slash money saving reason, IIRC.
