Scoops like this are made in such a way so as to lift the popcorn from the heated popper and then simply shake it lose into a tub or bag, with hardly any rotation or movement of the wrist. This is a great way to ease the stress on workers’ hands and wrists, especially during rushes. Many fast food restaurants use these speed scoops for French fries and tater tots as well. Simpler scoops work just as well, albeit with less ergonomic designs.
