The Price Is Right is a long-running American television game show in which contestants guess the prices of prizes, and its bright winning ding has become one of the most recognisable sounds in game show history. Heard for decades on daytime television, the chime is closely linked to moments of success on the show, from a correct bid to winning a showcase prize. As clips and parodies spread online, creators began using it as shorthand for a correct answer, a good deal, or an unexpected win, which is why it still feels instantly familiar outside the studio.
