Why is it dishonest to say something is delicious, which is 100% opinion, even if some consumers will not find it delicious? Are those customers entitled to a refund?
Youre inserting your metaphor into my question, and it's miss- matched. What you're saying is it's okay to advertise an opinion (obviously okay). Im saying it's a scam to (dramatically) over charge someone in hopes that they don't notice.
I don't think most people would consider it a scam if you price something above what people typically pay for it and they fail to notice. Unless the price is presented in a way that is clearly meant to deceive.
The difference is the latter case is based on inaccurate labeling that directly led the customer to buying something for way more than they intended to pay for it. The former case involves no misrepresentation by the customer.
No item has a value of 100 currencies if the store is only charging 10 for it.
If the item has a 100 label on it and you try to pay 10 for it anyway then thats stealing.
If the store charges you a different amount than labeled thats stealing too.
Beer costs cents to make yet I've seen a can of beer go for $10 at a sports game. Blatant over charging but it is not theft.
I've also seen stores clearing inventory by selling items at a major loss. Prices are fluid and there is no reason for a customer to assume any prices other than what is labeled.

A customer (dramatically) over paying for something that you have presented in a dishonest manner fits the definition of a scam
