  This and the "Carbolic Smoke Ball" case. (An advertisement purporting to offer £100 to anyone who catches influenza after using their product does not create a unilateral offer that can be accepted by catching influenza).

    The Wikipedia article I found says that the court found it does create such an offer? (Or rather, an offer that can be accepted by buying and using a ball.)

      You’re right, I misremembered the ruling. As with most cases you read in law school, the issues are more important than the outcome.
