So many people here talking about "False Advertising"[0] thinking that is enough.
The pursuant likely has a case under a false advertising claim especially when considering:
> For example, a lease advertisement for an automobile that promotes "$0 Down" may be misleading if significant and undisclosed charges are due at lease signing
The problem is "false advertising" doesn't get him the jet. It just says Pepsi should be slapped on the wrist, made to change their advertisement. Non-compliance is:
> orders to cease and desist, with fines up to $43,792 per violation should they occur.
> injunctions by federal district courts. Violations of some Commission rules also could result in civil penalties of up to $40,654 per violation. Violations of court orders could result in civil or criminal contempt proceedings.
> in some instances, refunds to consumers for actual damages in civil lawsuits.
Leonard had to go after it being a contractual obligation if he wanted any chance at Pepsi giving him the jet or equivalent monetary value.
The judge was correct. It's not a contract. Is it false advertising? Probably, but that wasn't the question at hand.
