Get the Jessica Stroupmug. The round on The Price Is Right where a big wheel is spun and three players have already played their pricing games. The object is to come as close as you can to $1.00--WITHOUT GOING OVER. Getting the $1.00 (the 100) directly or in a combination of two spins (the two have to equal 100 or $1.00) awards $1,000 ($5,000 if a Million Dollar Spectacular). Landing on the green sections (5 and 15) during the bonus spin earns you $10,000 (previously $5,000) and landing on the 100 again on the bonus spin earns you $25,000 (previously $10,000). Players (and most often the host) can also be booed when they do not get the wheel around at least once.

Get the Showcase Showdownmug. The unwanted sound heard on a game show, usually when a bonus round is lost.
On The Price Is Right, when a player loses his or her pricing game, or if there is a double overbid in the Showcase, these are signified by a tuba playing the first four notes of theme music followed by horns playing notes in C, D, and E all at once before pretending to faint. When Drew Carey hosted the show in 2007, an A-sharp note was added with faintly audible drums with the sound remixed in full stereo.

Get the Losing hornsmug. One of the major parts of The Price Is Right, the second step after a player has won the One-Bid. Most of these can be played for furniture, cash, or even cars. One example is Plinko, a fan favorite that debuted in 1983, which offers cash prizes up to $50,000.
"(insert name here), you're going to play PLINKO for a chance to win up to $50,000!" Rich Fields announced to the lucky contestant before the pricing game started and the audience cheered wildly.
