Another question might be why would only 1 in 24 million
have this problem?

Another, why open the cup when it's in your lap, especially when there's
someone else in the car? The lids are not that hard to take off and most cars

Last I'm really amazed at some of the information I've

I should have had 100s of 3rd degree burn when I was younger
working in restaurants--then again, I'm suppose to be thick-
