My 3-finger stopple broke on me mid-tumble. When it broke, the rubber part (that maintains the seal) loosened, so the black foam started spewing all over my tumbler and floor. I don't think it was like that very long, because I noticed it was making a funny noise so I checked on it before it made too big of a mess.
The bottle did not crack or chip, but it has some roughness around the bottom.

I think I learned a lesson - replace the finger stopples when they look worn (i.e. before they break).
