The winning contestant took home a year's supply of Parnation Instant Milk, as well as a one-week visit to the long-lost Polynesian island of Maoi. The loser received free lifetime enrollment in Marlon Brando's renowned "Mar-Plan" weight reduction program, PLUS a week's supply of heavily-aged cheeses and month-old, sun-ripened liver.
