Article

Actually, the bit at the beginning of this article I think is wrong. As I understand it, the original tumblers did not fall over and spill their drink; rather, when in a carriage, they rolled and retained their drink rather than slop the drink out the side or topple over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.208.42 (talk) 13:36, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Username:I agree this opening statement is incorrect. I have a source that cites an 1896 New York Times article that supports the claim it was designed to return to an upright position when dropped.Birdeaux78 (talk) 23:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation number 4 "Greens Steel" used for much of the history is poor quality. It is not an independently verifiable source and is an uncited blog post from a for-profit steel tumbler company. The article also says they are theories and they are reported as fact in the article. Also, flat surfaces existed in the medieval era. Raccoonny (talk) 02:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
