Anational beverage company ran a promotion where consumers could collect "points" by purchasing the company's products, then redeem the accumulated points for items such as baseball caps and t-shirts. one television ad showed a teenager landing a $33.8 million-dollar aircraft in his schoolyard while "harrier jet: 7,000,000 points" flashed across the screen. after the commercial aired, john gathered the 7 million points and asked for a harrier jet, yet the company refused to comply. two days later the points for the jet had changed in the ad from 7,000,000 to 700,000,000. if john sues for the airplane, what is the probable outcome?
a. john wins, because he accepted the company's offer by gathering 7,000,000 points.
b. john wins, because the advertisement showed specific terms, and anyone could accept the offer.
c. john loses, because no reasonable person would believe the advertisement was a serious offer.
d. john loses, because an advertisement is never an offer.
