Stating the bleeding obvious - or is that burning?

Caution: contents may be hot

The warning on this coffee cup seems somewhat redundant.

I expect the contents of my freshly purchase coffee cup to be hot.

Wasn't there some case in the US where someone sued McDonald's when they burnt themselves on the hot coffee that was in their cup?

If the contents of my freshly purchase coffee cup were not hot, can I sue?

Imagine a world where we need to be warned about the bleeding obvious!

Oh, apparently we're living in it.

Crazy world!
