Question: What was the original motivation for bobbing for apples?

Answer: Bobbing for apples began in Europe centuries ago as part of a courting ritual to help young lovers determine if they were soulmates or not. Each apple represented a special someone, and the girl would try to bite into the one that belonged to her crush. If she got it on the first try, they were meant for each other, but if it took three or more tries, well. . . that relationship was doomed.
