The Tacticooler was introduced in Splatoon 3, released for Nintendo Switch in 2022, as a support special weapon that sets down a cooler filled with drinks that boost movement and respawn speed. Its short jingle became familiar to regular players because they heard it repeatedly during online matches whenever the special was used nearby. Clips of the sound later spread to soundboards and short video edits, where Splatoon fans recognised it immediately and other creators adopted it as a quick, cheerful cue for upgrades, rewards, and drink related jokes.
