A tumbler is a flat-floored beverage container usually made of plastic, glass or stainless steel.
Theories vary as to the etymology of the word tumbler. One such theory is that the glass originally had a pointed or convex base and could not be set down without spilling. Another is that they had weighted bottoms which caused them to right themselves if knocked over.[1]
Originally, the term tumbler referred to a type of drinking glass with a pointed or rounded base, which prevented it from being put down until it was empty, encouraging the drinker to finish their beverage in one go.[2] This design feature was not only a practical solution to the lack of flat surfaces in medieval times but also a novel way to ensure guests consumed their drinks quickly at gatherings. Over time, the design evolved into the flat-bottomed glassware we are familiar with today, which can comfortably sit on tables and counters without tipping over.[citation needed] The modern tumbler comes in various sizes and shapes, designed to accommodate a wide range of beverages from water and juice to sophisticated cocktails, showcasing its evolution from a functional necessity to a staple of everyday life and celebratory occasions alike.[3] Collins glass, for a tall mixed drink[4] Tumblers can also be adorned with decor, such as gemstones and rhinestones.[5]
Types of tumblers
