Paul Produce made the following statement to Barbie Buyer…..”Hey Barbie, I am thinking of selling my complete supply of bananas for 10 cents per pound.” Discuss your legal position on whether the statement is an offer. If so, how long does it remain an offer? Now assume that Paul scribbled the above quoted words on the skin of a banana, gave the banana skin to Barbie and told Barbie that he was leaving soon for South America in order to get a new supply of bananas to sell. Discuss your legal position on whether the “banana skin” is an offer. If so, how long does it remain an offer? Now assume that Paul was in his garage working on his 1962 Studebaker Lark. During this work session, Paul felt chilly. Paul lit a bundle of rags and wood chips in order to start a small flame so that he could warm up. Unfortunately, because of the fire, the bananas that Paul and Barbie had discussed blew up and turned into useless “banana mush.” Now Barbie wants to accept the banana offer. Discuss the legal issues raised above. Use legal rules and concepts to support your legal discussion.
