Health potions have been a staple healing item in role-playing games for decades, usually shown as a red bottle that restores health points when used. The drinking and sparkle sound built around that idea became a shared shorthand in game videos, soundboards and meme edits because it needs no explanation. Players recognize the glug and chime from countless fantasy and adventure games, so creators borrow it for real life recovery jokes, gaming highlights, and edits where any snack, nap, or drink counts as healing.
