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.

Yes, it is. Actually I thought a little more about it and these meds were marketed at a time when all of the nuclear paranoia in the 50's and 60's was going on. Probably just a few years give or take around the time the "The Day the Earth Stood Still" debuted.
