What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I found a rewards program on slurpee.com. They were offering a promotion for 45 days where every day a different video game related prize was offered for a certain amount of rewards points obtained by drinking slurpees. On their home page, there was an image of 3 different game titles, each with their own promotional cup next to it. One of the games shown was never offered as a prize. The only reason I bought any of the drinks was to try and claim a game from the points. This game was never offered as an option. Various small items relating to all three games were offered over the course of the promotion but the other two titles were offered on the system shown in the ad. Does this constitute false advertising? I wouldn't have bought any of their products if it weren't for all the images of the game throughout the promotion. Items would quickly run out of stock, just a few minutes after being posted online. This resulted in me having to stay up until 1am every night to ensure that I would be able to get one before they ran out. You can assume how mad I became when the last day of the promotion came and they never posted the title I was waiting for. Since there were only 3 games shown and 3 specialty cups made, I would think that most would assume that these three games were all offered.
