Too Hot Lady: New York Woman Sues Over Temperature of Starbucks' Tea

Categories: Coffee & Tea

It's doubtful this bold gal would think any cup of tea is too hot.
Over at the Daily Weekly, Caleb Hannan reports that a Manhattan woman, allegedly not one of the so-narcissistic-and-annoying-they-deserve-death-by-firing-squad stars of The Real Housewives of New York (or New Jersey, or Atlanta, or Orange County--where said housewives are literally orange), is suing Starbucks because her tea was too damn hot.

Writes Hannan: "Zeynep Inanli says that she was served tea that was 'unreasonably hot' at a Manhattan Starbucks. Inanli alleges she suffered second-degree burns and 'great physical pain and mental anguish' as a result of a container she claims wasn't safe.'"

Mental anguish? Isn't tea supposed to sooooooooooooooooothe one's senses? Apparently not in Manhattan. But that could have more to do with simply living in Manhattan. Hang loose[r], bra[-wearer]!
