The sound comes from Candy Crush, King's long-running match-three puzzle game first released in 2012, where honey appears as a sticky board element that players clear to free items underneath. As short game cues were ripped and shared on soundboards and in mobile edits, this honey jingle became a standalone shorthand for a sweet clear or unlock. It remains popular because it is instantly recognisable to players, very short, and easy to reuse outside the game as a cute reward cue in casual gaming videos.
