Man. They even put a Charles Schulz-style double period at the end.

Maybe it's supposed to be a representation of steam, a la quotation marks?

Not sure if it's hot, but I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who thinks it might be.

Maybe quotes are like double negatives? Two sets of quotes resets it and the third makes it ironic again
"hot" = not actually hot
""hot"" = actually blistering hot
"""hot""" = so cold it will cause instant freezer burn to your lips

Well I can appreciate these quotations because they are gratuitous and they are clearly part of the graphic design!
