The first thing that came to my mind was Squeeze Play, but I see it's also on the list.

Harumph, there goes the resale value of the copy I bought for 99 cents at Waldenbooks (!) In 1981. :)

My guess would have been Double Digits, but that game was long gone by then. Maybe Professor Price but I highly doubt it.

Having wondered the actual amount of these gifts, was that the norm for most shows of that era? Most credit rolls I remember seeing offered the Lee Press-On nails, Ragu spaghetti sauce and pizza mix, and the Hawaiian Tropic towel.

It probably depends on the show. Just as an example, I remember Whew! parting gifts to be some pretty hefty stuff. Plus, there's the possibility of returning champs accumulating parting gifts; do I need (an excuse) to break out the Bob Harris video again?

Many of the Whew! parting gifts we've seen so far would have been top-level Head Start prizes on Narz Concentration.

I’ve noticed that too watching Buzzr. Very nice consolation prizes for your time.
