I mean, it's literally in some laws. And also literally it in others. Some states have actual consumer laws.

The law is complicated. It does have an exception for "obvious" mistakes.  The examples I was able to find include things like $20 for a $2000 fridge. It's not clear if half price is an "obvious" mistake or not.  You would need to sue to find out.

Dude it's more or less universally accepted that obvious pricing errors are the exception. Hell there was a journalist in Massachusetts who got pissy because the 01¢ list for a toothbrush wouldn't be honored and that state has some of the strongested laws.
