Very easy, but cute!! Um, Pibbles...
That was a good one. xD
i never heard that and i get it! at first i didnt. awesome joke!
ok the whole deal wit Pibbles is to distract the reader from the easy answer..which seemed to have wrkd on you ppl..lol
WOW! some people are so darn picky. Its not their teaser so who cares about the name!
Good one! Very clever of that bus driver. Hopefully Pibbles will not get hungry and eat more than one a day
I got it right away yay. Kind of a groaner lol but a good one
Hehe, it was cute. Who cares about the name?
omg, that's hilarious !!!
lol, and Pibbles is a cool name, i don't see why everyone's got a problem with it...

way too easy!!!!
I agree - a groaner - and too easy - but I like an easy one now and then
cute...
I don't care for riddles like this because there could be multiple plausible solutions. The guy named his horse after his lady. The guy is a grocer and sold the apples to her at a cheap price to express his love, etc
Easy... but cute!
I agree with avonna. Very easy, but cute.Thanks for posting.
A VERY GOOD ONE! KEEP 'EM COMING!
Very easy. Why Pibbles ? Why not. I think the name probably distracts people from the simplicity of the teaser. Enjoyed the comments as much as the teaser.
You didn't trick me with the Pibbles distraction. I'm getting better at these!
Way too easy I need stimulation!
Waste of time, too easy.
The point of "Pibbles" is to trick you!
Anyway, I thought this was more a joke or riddle than a trick teaser.

Very easy, but cute. I'll try this one on my granddaughter
Heheh, silly. One of those answers that seems too easy to be right - very nice!
YEAH IDK who said it but it was E-Z ad da name waz 2 throw u off..lol 2 easy but preaty nce...
HAHAHHAA loved it! And I think Pibbles is supposed to make you think of a horse.
I think that that would be more of a joke. But whatever, it good!
Funny, but more of a joke.
Boring and way too easy!! Oh sorry! I forgot that I like easy.
Yes it was easy, but cute! I liked it - thank you! Hi and happy weekend, friends!
Yeah, yeah, it was easy. But big deal. I thought it was still funny.
So it was easy. There is no pleasing a lot of people on here. "Too easy" "Too hard" "didn't like the subject matter".
I personally thought it was funny, should have been in the riddle category not trick but was still cute.

The apple a day didn't work. The doctor thought Pibbles was a peach, and he loved peaches. G & S have a great day.
I loved that it was easy and funny!
Doehead, loved your comment. Yours too, HABS and Wordmama - most people are in a good, happy, positive mood today!! Nice to see it!
Ditto Gaylewolf,and I especially liked doehead's comment. Go doe.
I also thought it was a joke, not a trick.
I also thought it was a joke, not a trick.
that was funny. good one!
title kinda gave it away.... but really awesome. btw, pibbles is an awesome name
Still think this was more of riddle than a trick teaser, but still made me smile.
Easy one, but that's OK.
FUN, FUN , FUN
Yeah... yeah... I got that one again... Putting together 7 apples (one per day), and thinking about the doctor made me remember the saying.
Nice one. Keep 'em coming
Nice one. Keep 'em coming
ARE U kidding?? in vaudeville " with an apple a say --you cab ( add inappropriate behaviors ) .... doctors wife
Dont normally do well with riddles, but got this quickly- a happy groan
Very easy but made me laugh!
REALLY? This easy? zero challenge
Great puzzle. I LOVED it. Thanks for posting!
It made me laugh even if it is really simple. I also want to name a pet Pibbles now...
Hey, tripleteamV ... they gotta be easy.
'Cause if theys too difficult then the Judges (AKA 'editors') don't 'get it' and then they gotta come up with some lame reason (or new 'rule') so they can nix it.
We (BunnyBunch) still hangin' in there ...
(and still laughin')

Corny joke, but funny! Telling the name of the woman, Pibbles, is simply a red herring. I've seen many riddles that use the same strategy. Pibbles reminds me of Pebbles, the daughter of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. How about them apples!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it right away.
