Most people Apple Bobbing

If you love apples then you are sure to try this one.  The game of apple bobbing is very common and most of the time it is played with excitement and enthusiasm.  Apples are less dense than water and often float on the surface of water. The players then have to catch the apples by holding it onto their teeth. One is not supposed to use one’s hands or arms while doing the process. The arms and hands are tied when the players get down to action.

The thrill starts as the players bend down to hold the apple one by one in their teeth taking it from the water and putting them aside. Usually the player who takes out maximum apples from the water within the shortest possible time is declared as the winner.

This time apples were bobbed to celebrate the 200^th anniversary of Macintosh apple. As much as 357 apple enthusiasts assembled together to set the new world record and give a fitting tribute to the legendary software giant.  Robb Nelson from Mississauga, not only retrieved all 10 apples from his bucket using only his mouth, but managed to do so at lightning speed in a mere 32 seconds. 

Robb Nelson could hardly believe the moment that he had created for himself. He added that he wanted to get all the apples out from the water without actually inhaling any water.

Tracy Airhart a teacher said  that apples have been a part of their heritage. Her ancestor John McIntosh is credited  with discovering McIntosh apple. Our goal was to give back to the local community by hosting a Winter Apple Ball on Family Day.

Although the event was free, each guest was invited to bring one or several Ontario apples, which would in turn be donated to Second Harvest, a charitable organization that feeds those in need. 

Tonia Crauser Director of  Communications Second harvest said that they were humbled by the generosity of the attendees.

Many families donated 1,150 apples and over all they have 2,300 apples to be distributed to the hungry persons all over the city.

Ontario apples rank the best in the world. That is because of Ontario’s moderate temperatures, sunny days, cool nights  provide just the ideal conditions for the growth of healthy and juicy apples.

The most number of people apple bobbing counted to 357 persons and was set by Ontario Apple Growers at Toronto, Canada on February 23, 2011.
