There have been at least two incidents on Ebay - the first during the height of PS2 popularity, where a person sold a playstation box for several hundred dollars. The person who won the auction -- received just that... the box the playstation came in... The ad said it was a playstation box... the person who won the auction made an assumption.. .Buyer beware... The buyer got what was advertised.
There was another incident where a kid sold pictures of a plasma screen television.. the ad was written in such a way that the kid who sold the picture wasn't lying - the person buying the picture made an assumption.. (and who the hell buys a 52" plasma screen television for 2K)
In both cases, the people got what was advertised... If they made assumptions, that is their problem, they should have been more careful. This woman got what was offered... a candy bar -- if she made an assuption - well... Sorry.
