so I read this and decided it was worth giving the article a look. Link is 404'd

When my family used to own a Coffee Shop, we would brew concentrated coffee (our strongest) and then chill it for use the iced coffee drinks.

It's a rediculous reason to sue...stop going there..I agree that when I get a berry something Ice Tea there is way to much ice...it's gone in a few sips but to sue for 5 million? Rediculous!!!

One of the great problems with our civil justice system is the proliferation of frivolous class action suits. They're irresistible to lawyers looking to make a big payoff for a puny investment. Typically the lawyers walk away with all the serious money in their fee award, while the poor "consumers" they're allegedly protecting end up with a virtually valueless "certificate" or coupon. Even when the defendants prevail, they spend a fortune in defense costs and cannot recoup any from the impecunious class plaintiffs. Hence, the temptation to settle early, despite the lack of merit in the claim
The cost to American business is staggering.

All I have to say is good luck on that law suit!

This is ridiculous!

Everybody knows that companies do this with cold/iced beverages. If I am concerned about it, as I usually am, because I want more actual beverage and less ice, I ask for my ice on the side or say, "Easy on the ice, please." In either case they are always happy to accommodate me.
Problem solved.

When I lived in Brooklyn there was this coffee shop that I'd go to that made ice cubes out of coffee and put them in their ice coffee drinks. I thought this was perhaps the best idea ever.

She has another option too: Don't order an iced coffee which has, you know, ice in it. It says so on the menu. What does she think they are going to do? Make her coffee and then have a special, much larger drink cup so they can then pour in her Venti and add ice to that?!

Google knows all.

Linkedin and FB pics might be vanishing soon though after this, lol.
