Teddy and Sammy stroll into No-Value Supermarket, looking for something to eat. While passing the bakery section, they noticed that the price sticker on one cake was printed crookedly and reads 95c instead of R21.95, like the stickers on all the other cakes. They take the cake to a till to pay for it. The cashier rings the amount as R21.95, to which they loudly object, and an argument ensues between them and the cashier. Which ONE of the following statements reflects the CORRECT legal position?

Question

Answer

The contract between the parties is void because the supermarket can expect the reasonable consumer to know that 95c is not a reasonable price for such a cake.

Answer

A contract did not come into existence between the parties because the price sticker on the cake did not constitute an offer, and without an offer and acceptance, there cannot be consensus.

Answer

A contract came into existence between the parties, but it is voidable because the supermarket made a misrepresentation about the price of the cake.

Answer

A contract did come into existence between the parties because the supermarket made an offer to sell by attaching a price sticker to the cake, which Teddy and Sammy accepted.
