There are many traditions associated with the period of general misbehaviour known as Hallowe'en, one of my favourites is that of apple bobbing. However this is apparently getting dangerous (bbc), indeed three people went to hospital with bobbing related injuries... a suggestion was even made in my paper (unavailable online due to paywall) that you should play the game with your hands...
I do enjoy playing this game, mainly due to the fact that I know it's perfectly possible to sucessfully bob for an apple in about three seconds if you're willing not to dilly-dally trying not to get wet. Just stick your head right into the water, apple against the side of the bucket and bite... two seconds if you're quick.
