How Many Chuggas Come Before Choo Choo?

The Internet Is Imploding Over How Many Chuggas Are Supposed to Come Before Choo Choo

Recently a Reddit user posed a query that has taken the internet by storm, and frankly, it's worth a lengthy discussion. On March 13, the sh*t-stirrer-in-question started a thread saying, "I've always said two, but now my kid is saying three. However, my kid's preschool teacher says one and it pisses me off that there aren't enough chuggas for a choo; how's the train supposed to go anywhere?"

As soon as his post went live, the rest of the internet started chiming in, and it's clear that the issue still hasn't been resolved. Some people say two is fine, while I'm on board the four-chugga-chuggas train. One of my coworkers even tossed up the idea of eight — not sure where she finds the time for that nonsense — and no, I'm not even considering 12 as a real possibility.

By the looks of the Twitter responses, I'm not alone in my utter frustration. Read through to get a look at the best reactions.
