What if your ice bulbs needed clicking?

Ice bulbs, as you know, are filled with something marvelous. Of course, the only way to release that marvelousness, is to click them. But you can’t click them until they are ready, or else you get immature marvelousness, which no one really wants. Conversely, if you wait too long, than your marvelousness may get moldy and rotten, an unpleastant thought. So there are two problems—figuring out when to click them, and then, figuring out how to click them appropriately, for if you do it wrong, the marvelousness is destroyed.

So, how do you tell your icebulbs need clicking? What is your clicking method? What marvelousness did you release? How long did it last? What did you do with it?
