Brought back a memory from the 1960's. Car dealer had sign on car
window, offering it for "2,000 bananas". Guy came in with that many
bananas. Dealer of course refused. Guy brought him to court and won.
Now, he probably would be fined for bringing a frivolous law suit.

Then there's the Florida Hooters case where a manager promised a prize
of a "Toyota" (verbally) to the waitress who brought in the largest
amount. The winning waitress was given a "toy yoda" doll. She sued
and Hooters gave her a settlement. (Amount confidential)
