After one of the music variants are heard, a hammer (which, however, if you look at the bottle very closely, you can see a hammer coming down in the reflection on the bottle) appears then comes down and breaks the bottle, causing the {{color|orangered|orange red}} ink in it to spread everywhere, covering up the whole screen.
