The 2 spoons debate that has gone viral on TikTok: which one would you choose?

It's such a simple question, but it has generated so many discussions that it has gone viral and accumulated more than a million “likes“.

If you're given a choice between two very similar objects, you'll probably have a hard time deciding. You will have to look at them carefully to be able to form an opinion of each one and see the differences between them. This way, you will be able to choose without fear of making a mistake, or you will.

user mum.me.and.emily wanted to her followers by making them choose between two spoons. She explained that she is very selective about which spoons she uses when eating. What she wanted to test is whether her audience was just as picky as she is.

Recently, I discovered that there are some people in the world who can go into a cutlery drawer and choose any of these spoons, they don't care,” she explains in dismay as she displays two spoons on the table, seemingly the same. One has a thin, plain handle, while the other has a wider, decorated handle.

Divided opinions.

Clearly, there's a winning spoon here,” she says. And wonders if she's the only one who thinks this way. Comments, predictably, are divided between the two spoons. “Obviously the two! I rummage through the drawer looking for option two” or “option one is the best spoon,” claim some followers.

@mum.me.and.emily Replying to @justjenniew The answer to a lot of people's question is finally here…. #toansweryourquestion #itsfinallyhere #responding #spoontheory #itsallaboutthespoons #whichonewouldyoupick #dontcomeforme #thankyouforthelove #millenialontiktok #facereveal #whichspoonvideo #option1oroption2 #viralvideo ♬ original sound – Mum.Me.And.Emily

In a following video, the young woman explains which spoon she would choose: “My answer is, of course, option one. It has to be.” She explains that spoon number two has edges that bother her, and that's why she always chooses spoon number one.

Such was the consternation that such a simple question raised that the video has accumulated a million “likes” and has been viewed more than 13 million times. Both sides, the number one spoon and the number two spoon, defended their position tooth and nail in the comment box, which has accumulated more than 100,000 comments. This is a debate on the same level as the omelet with or without onions.
