** In the retired Phone Home Game, a rule that contestants could not mention the name of a product was strictly enforced. Otherwise it would be all too easy for the home player to "accidentially" start saying the name of the product, correct themselves, and then give out the price, which would spoil the answer for the studio contestant.

In 2023, to accomodate not only inflation, but a wider variety of cars, the opening bid is now a variable multiple of $5,000 that depends on the price of the car. It's usually $20,000, but may be scaled back to $15,000 for economy cars, or $25,000 for SUVs and midsize cars.

*** In its first year or so in the rotation, it was even harder - 1-6 were not the only numbers that could show up as the price of the car. These were, in fact, the intended rules of the game because the producers wanted it to be challenging - unfortunately it proved to be ''too'' challenging to be fun that way. The rules were altered so that the only numbers that could be in the price of the car were numbers that could be found on a six-sided die.
