'''Legacy:''' For the variant with only the bottle breaking sound, it would be be startling to some people (especially the variant without music where it breaks with no warning, which could be jarring to many people). However, for the music variant, it is slightly less-scary with the music playing. The logo may be favored for fans of ''Smallville''.
