⚖️ New York Court Sided with the Corporation. Judge Kimba Wood made a historic ruling based on the "Reasonable Person" principle.

Allegedly, no reasonable person could seriously believe that a commercial company would sell a fighter jet for $700,000.


The court recognized the advertisement as Puffery, permissible advertising exaggeration that does not constitute a public offer. John was left without a plane but became a legend in law schools.

🤯 PLOT TWIST OF 2026.
30 years later, some justice has finally prevailed.

Recently, Frontier Airlines announced a great redemption in its advertisement. They found John Leonard and exchanged his old 7 million Pepsi points for 7 million miles.

Now he can fly for free for life. Technically, he finally got his personal plane, albeit a passenger one.

The line between a simple joke and a binding obligation in a contract is very thin. Pepsi spent money on lawyers because they forgot to add "Just Kidding" to the ad.

Even in marketing, before signing (or promising) something — check the text.
