    Umm, I think she's right... it's false advertising to call it guacamole if it's not really guacamole - and if it's not made from avocados, it ain't guacamole.

    Apparently Kraft agrees:

    However, the company will relabel the product to make it clearer that the dip is guacamole-flavored, Regan said.

    Maybe, but a lawsuit? How about a letter and ask for a refund?

    That was legit. She suffered THIRD DEGREE burns because of the coffee. Their coffee had burned over 40 people a month and nobody was caring... and it was at a higher-than-legal temperature so they could keep it longer.

    I disagree. She placed a cup of hot coffee between her legs while she was driving.

    And yes, I've read that there were multiple complaints that their coffee was too hot prior to this. I don't care, if you spill coffee on your self in the manner she did, well, sorry, don't drive with hot coffee between your legs.

    Our society looks to blame everyone but themselves...sheesh.

    What about the person who sued McDonalds because she burnt herself on a pickle? Gah!

    >>"It just didn't taste avocadoey," said Brenda Lifsey, who used Kraft Dips Guacamole in a three-layer dip last year. "I looked at the ingredients and found there was almost no avocado in it."

    She is seeking unspecified damages and a Superior Court order barring Kraft from calling its dip guacamole. Her suit seeks class-action status.<<

    So, there WAS avocado... just not enough of it.... "unspecified damages"?! BWAHAHAHAHA! What a dumb dumb dumb dumb... dummy.

    I read she was driving while holding it between her legs.

    Actually, I have less issue with the lawsuit than I do with the amount she was originally awarded. That was the insane part.

    if you think they suck, you should try hanging around some family law court rooms. A lot of family law attorneys are pretty money hungry. They seem to egg on their clients like its their own personal battle or something and the client ends up having to mortage their house to pay the atty fees. Really I haven't met as many civil trial attorneys that were nearly as bad as family law.

    The hilarious thing about the hot-pickle case was that it wasn't just the woman that sued. She burned her chin when a hot pickle slid out of the burger and landed there, so she sued, and her HUSBAND also sued for "loss of the companionship and services of his wife." No joke. Think about that one for a minute...

    First - imagine that your groin is a mass of scar tissue because a) you may have been holding the cup incorrectly and b) someone opts to superheat their coffee instead of heating it normally. You would be living pretty much forever with the consequences of your actions; why is it wrong to ask other people to live with their's? Second - think about how hot something has to be before you suffer third degree burns. I've spilled coffee from starbucks on myself and suffered no damage.

    Oh God what has the world come to. I agree with, Jenny.

    I think a lot of us hear "She spilt coffee on herself" and we think - dumbass. I have spilled hot stuff on myself and gotten a little red spot.

    I don't think any of us have spilled something on ourselves that cracked opened the skin and cooked the meat underneath.

    The amount payed in the lawsuit is the horror of the story. That has more to do with today's jury's than it does stupid people with hot coffee. We complain about all these hoops we are forced to pay for and jump through - ya know what - the enemy is us.

    Everybody knows Dunkin Donuts has the best coffee anyhow.

    Ain't that the truth.

    Lawyers are useful in two ways

    1) Staying out of trouble (cheap)
