Really?  On what do you base this?

McD's claims 700 burn complaints in 10 years.  They claim this is a
rate of 1 in 24 million.  Let's do the math.


  700 burn complaints * 24 million cups of coffer per burn complant
over 10 years

  = 700 * 24 million cups / 10 years

  = 16,800 millions cups / 10 years

  = 16.8 billion cups / 10 years

  = 1.68 billion cups / year

And this is your evidence that the article isn't factual?

Apparently you can only read and react to one sentence at a time. The rest of my note had a lot more information in it. And I erroneously assumed that you could read the slanted article for yourself to spot obvious error. Forgive me for overestimating you.

You may go now.
