Cookie Clicker is the browser idle game by French developer Julien Thiennot, known as Orteil, first released in 2013. Sugar lumps arrived with the major version 2.0 update in 2018: a lump grows on screen over real time, ripens, and can be harvested to refill meters and buff buildings. A short click and chime confirms the pickup, one of the game's tiny reward moments. Streamers and idle-game channels began reusing it as a satisfying micro reward sound, and short clips of it now circulate on soundboards as a general gaming reward click.
