Ah, the magic of The Price is Right—where kitchen gadgets and wild guesses collide in front of a cheering crowd.

Now, when Drew Carey dropped the clue “Schwarzenegger” before asking a Bidder’s Row contestant to guess the price of a vegetable chopper, it definitely made folks raise an eyebrow… or two. So, let’s break this down:

Did the clue “Schwarzenegger” actually help?

In a literal sense? Not really. Schwarzenegger, the Austrian Oak himself, is more known for pumping iron than chopping cucumbers. But maybe—just maybe—Drew was trying to be clever with an indirect hint:

• Powerful: Some vegetable choppers are manual, others are motorized. Maybe it was one of those turbo-charged, “slice-an-entire-zucchini-in-one-punch” models.
• Strongman vibes: Schwarzenegger = strength. So Drew might’ve been hinting that this chopper was heavy-duty, and thus higher-priced than your average slap-chop.

So, did it help?

If the contestant read between the lines and guessed a little higher, thinking this was the Arnold of choppers? Then yes, kinda helpful.

But if they just stared blankly and wondered why Drew brought up The Terminator in a game about food processors? Then… nope, not so much.

TL;DR:

“Schwarzenegger” was a flex of a clue—funny, maybe metaphorical, but not exactly a price tag giveaway. Classic Price is Right chaos.
