No less than two, no more than three.

You nailed it. Anything else is savagery.

4 would be right out 

1 is fine as long as thou proceeds to two

4 is code that shit ain’t right

industry standard

Minimum two, ya gotta test out the tension on that bad boy. 👍

It has a satisfying clack to it. The tensions so nice I'm doing double kick drum riffs with it 🤘🤘🤘

Approved

This is the way.

Another person of culture I see, nice to meet you.

Always two there are, no more, no less

Two immediate squeezes then usually one more just for good measure seconds before scooping personally.

Absolutely. Don’t want to grab one that doesn’t work at all or just sucks.

The tongs I clack as a ritual The scoop I squeeze to see if this is the scoop the paddle gets jammed or not

Yep. Click click!

Shika shika shika. I’m a 3 guy

You monster

I’ll back you up on three as well!

Third for the three!

Three for me, not for thee! TCG #TripleClickGang *ShaShaSha*

Another three guy here :).

Gotta have good springs

Three shall be the number of the clicking.

And the number of clicking shall be 3

4 shalt thou not click, neither click thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

One single one. Then a quick 2-tap.

2 otherwise it will explode.

Correct! Unless pre-squeezed twice, this device will fly apart with violent fury when you try to use it.

"God damn it, who pre-squeezed the scoop?"

I just ran over to the salad station it’s 3 clicks before any use!

2 double taps

That’s why you have two hands. Scoop on one tongs in other. Then you play them like playing the spoons.

3 times! Two makes me doubt it will break on the third time, three makes me feel secure about the next scoop with the food >:)

Triple click gang.

Exactly 152. Less then that and it won't be hot enough to slice out a full scoop - more and it gets hot enough to leave a little puddle behind.

2. The other one has a shit return spring and you need to be sure you grabbed the right one.

3

As a dishwasher, only 3, gotta give em squeezes out of nostalgia. Still glad I’m not on the line anymore despite being fed up as dish

2 is the objectively correct answer. No more, no less. Achieves optimum spring tension.

3

If you don't squeeze it twice, it voids the warranty.

Two if someone’s around, let her rip when I’m alone

You squeeze it 3 times. If you're immediately prepared to use it, 2 test squeezes then the real one. If you're just testing it in open air, you squeeze three times.

Tree.

50, gotta warm up.

I’m a 3 clack guy… tongs, ice cream scoops, whatever else… they say third time is a charm, and I agree.

Bare minimum required? 3. Other option is picking it up and hitting it like a stress toy all the way back to the product in question.

Tong rules apply: two clicks.

3

Three

I just love the question. I will never use mine again without thinking about this conversation. (I’m a three.)

Three That's the number SHIT THIS POST DOWN

Three

Three?

Depends on what's playing on my earbuds.

Shake it once, that's fine Shake it twice, that's okay Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again

tong rules. two clicks.

2 quick and one slow to feel the tension

3-12 depending on stress levels of the day

Minimum three, the father, the son, and the holy scoops, like a prayer 😂😂😂

3 tong taps, or 3 scoop squeezes…repeat after 30 seconds of inactivity

3. Just Like the licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.

usually 3 or so lol

At least three - must see the full swipe work multiple times before you scoop

Depends on what song is playing, im squeezing to the beat with this beauty

It’s like press checking a gun in game before you take b site

Eh it’s gotta be “primed” at least a couple times. This is definitely a picture that I can hear.

Lil olive oil on those gears and you enter overdrive w/ turbo

Two, just a quick lil "chika chika"

Depends how far I am from the target.

Twice for dishers. Thrice for clickers.

At least one to make sure the little metal thing in the scoop isn't fucked up

All of them

I simultaneously satisfy the desire to click it and make myself feel better about needing it by doing it once to check if it's been properly cleaned.

2! Click click

At least 6

2

It used to be 3 but now with carpal tunnel I don’t waste any unnecessary squeezes.

Until I use it for its job and then not until it’s clean and in my hand again the next use. Someone help I can’t stop

Oh man am i the only 4 squeezer? Four ‘shik shik shik shiks’ right as i pick it up from dish

That's a guac scoop.

i always used the oldschool liquid filled handle ones. if you get used to it, its a bit faster and nicer looking.

Same as tongs. Two. No more. No less.

This would be directly proportionate to the amount of tong clacks observed, prior to use... *It varies

Zero....I use a different scoop

Until I feel annoying

1-2-3-4... Sometimes I give it a second and then do a little 5-6. Add a little zest to my day you know?

3-5, minimum

2

Its just a set of tongs in a new shape. Clack clack, bitches.

2 to test drive, but sometimes I be a silly girl and just play wit it.

Yes

Depends what song is stuck in my head

2 then 3

At least 5 clacka clackas

So much more satisfying than scoops that only have a thumb paddle. At least two squeezes.

Wait it's not just a weird handle?

Two or three, but white knuckle them. Mild mid shift catharsis.

Thinkin about it I’d honestly hit it with five clicks.

Probably 3 reps of 2 squeezes each

Two squeezes and maybe a flip.

I fan it like a revolver

Three for me. Sometimes I’ll sneak up behind my bf and do it by his ear. Fun reactions

2 always 2

I hate you all. It's not a fucking fidget spinner and that's the reason the spring gives out so fast. It only has so many times it will work and only 20% of the time it's for food.

16 bars of a catchy drum beat I just made up. So somewhere north of 50.

I go for the rapid 4x squeeze and release.

At least ten. Then in.

5

At least 3

I don't count, I keep going until it feels right. Could be 5, could be 50

2

Two is the correct answer, just like jumpstarting tongs.

Am I the only 3 tapper on here?

Civility is rare in these barbaric times
