Maybe you never did this as a kid and your health is better for it but low wide barrel of water with apples floating in it, then often with your hands behind your back you kneel at the bucket and have to fish an apple out with your teeth...lol

Oh nice! Funny I was looking that up since you asked and the origins of bobbing for apples are Celtic and Roman and then later of course became popular in England and Ireland, and then America when folks from those parts migrated abroad.

ok, makes sense. apples as the fruits of the goddess… was it also a game for children in the ancient times?

OK so there are a bunch of sources on this but there's definately an origin story that's common to a few about the Roman Goddess Pomona - Goddess of fruit and it being part of her festival. Then in Britain and Ireland there was an aspect to it that was a courtship game for young lovers or to see who would be inclined to marry by virtue of success biting an apple. It doesn't sound like the origins were for children...lol but my memories of bobbing for apples were at childhood Halloween parties. Clearly pre Covid times because that would never fly now.
