which one was that?
There weren't any in that deal, but they didn't know that nor was it implied at the time.
The traders usually have to weigh the possibility of an offer for valuable prizes, or undesirable items, referred to as "Zonks".
Bad wording in there, but valuable prizes can range from cars, trips around the world, accessories ranging from jewelry to living room sets to technology (phones, computers, gaming consoles, etc).
But choosing an "undesirable item" is what they were trying to avoid.
