Raynaadi, I am glad you are okay. I dunno what it is with irresponsible folks.

I had a mishap yesterday too. So I went to Pizza Hut and got some pizza and instead of the usual prefilled sealed cups they gave me two 12 oz cups full of marinara sauce. I sat the pizza and sauce on the rear of my car so I could reach my keys and one of the cups of inferno hot marinara fell spilling all over my jeans and sandaled foot. Pain trumps vanity. I did a little dance in the parking lot pulling off my shoes and jeans and my freaking foot still was on fire! No water or soda or anything to cool it down so I jumped in the car and sped for home and writhed in pain for 5 minutes and then ran in the house and grabbed the sink sprayer and sprayed cold water all over my foot (and floor). It still was burning like fire and still is hurting a little bit an hour later. The lower part of my foot is still red. I guess I have a first degree burn. I am so pissed! I am sure the foot will probably heal fine and the probability of my toes falling off and being replaced by bionic toes is low but dang if that happened to somebody with diabetes or poor circulation that could get really serious.

This morning the redness is gone but I have 3 tiny blisters. I went to the Pizza Hut website to express my concern with this dangerous practice and the text I could send was limited to 750 characters - not enough to share my angst so I will send them a snail mail letter. I want nothing in return from them but simply a change their practice of serving lava hot sauce in flimsy cups.
