False Advertisement in Pizza Place? Anyone know about the law ?

Okay so at this pizza place i was at with my friends .. they have this little contest with a gumball machine.


For 25 cence u buy a gumball and if u get a white one , you win a free large pizza.


The EXACT words of the sign are ';Get a white gumball, win a free large pizza';


So my friend got a cracked one. It was a little les than have green, and the rest of the ';shell'; was cracked off, so it was WHITE.


We brought it up to the counter and told them we should win because the sign didn't say it had to be FULL white. They said no, because it was originally green. We argued that fine, well it's a defetive gumball, so we should at leaast get a gumball.


We were in there argueing at least an hour (dont ask.. haha. we were bored.. we were having fun arguing with the people that work there)


Anyway, we want to go back in there tomorow and try to convicnce them that they are wrong, and the cheated us out.


Does anyone know if this is like illegal or something?


Since there sign didnt clearly stae it needed to be fully white?


Any suggestions we could argue?


Thanks so mcuh!False Advertisement in Pizza Place? Anyone know about the law ?
Holy crap!





The gumball was green, get over it.





Try again or buy a pizza and leave the poor guys alone. The only thing illegal going on is your harassment and causing a nuisance.False Advertisement in Pizza Place? Anyone know about the law ?
So this is what you find to be the best use of your time? Get a life. How ridiculous. THey should have thrown you out.





Please spend your time studying your spelling words.
It's not illegal unless you harass the guy on false pretense -- which you've clearly acknowledged you're doing.





He has to make the move to call the cops though.
sorry but the pizza place was right. The outer covering of the gumball was green. Give the people a break and take your bored friends elsewhere.
Chipping the candy shell off a gumball to make it white is cheating. You definitely didn't deserve the prize.
If I were on the jury, I'd award you a penny to compensate for the defective gumball.
wow what a stupid argument. just forget it and never go there again
