The Bet 2

Answer
He put small candies that were shaped like apples into his mouth - which fit easily enough for 5.Hide Answer Show Answer

Hope ya liked it .
That was just ridicules. Man....

Thanks.......
It woulda been much cooler if you said he made apple juice or something
cute
i thought he put like apple slices in his mouth or something. . .i'm so out of it right now. . .

I thought of that but I thought it might be too easy.
Sorry Spuds, this one fell flat for me. He didn't put apples in his mouth, he put candy in his mouth. An apple is an apple, not something shaped like one. Just my opinion.
Yea it was my first so theyll get better later on.
apple sauce.......
let me amend that, he would've lost the bet, because he did not put apples, he put little candies...apple sauce....
Still they were apples.He didnt say what kind of apples.
I agree with the previous comments. Apples are apples. Something shaped like an apple is simply that; something shaped like an apple, not an apple itself.
ok........ Like I was saying this is my first they will get better I promise.
Good one I really liked it.
Ok if your not gonna say anything good about it then please just dont say anything ok.
i agree with the rest but it was his first teaser cut him some slack ok
good luck in making more
good luck in making more
Thanks Delightful I promise theyll get better everyone.
cool for a someones 1st teaser.cut him some slack evry1 cos he(or she )did really well anyway candy tastes better than apples(usually) so that one my vote
Thanks
I have a commenet: O.o
Spud I think your first teaser was GR8. I liked it and candied apples are apples so what's the difference if these were apple candies? I've seen those little fruit shaped candies and would have given my grandkids their money if they pulled this one on me.
Look forward to seeing your next teaser.

Thank you
I liked it alot!!
(beats the heck out of mine)
(beats the heck out of mine)
I guessed that he drank apple juice.
Thanks yall and yours beats mine.Applejuice was gonna be the answer but I changed it.Cause thats a lot of juice at once.
This was not a very good one... disappointed
Sorry theyll get better
i was thinking apple sauce
That and apple juice are really popular guesses.But thats a lot of applesauce or juice so I put the candy answer.
I agree that apple-shapedcandies is cheating and did notwin the bet. Nowifhe had WRITTEN "5 apples" on a slip of paper and put THAT in his mouth ...?
Thats a good suggestion
Good answer.I might try to change it.
Just wanted to say hi
Hi
I thought it was crab apples. You could easily fit five crab apples in your mouth at once.
Never saw em before......
Kudos to you for trying to come up with a creative teaser. It seems you spent some time trying to think of your very own teaser, rather than just copy something from the internet somewhere. Keep trying, you'll get better!
By the way people, remember that he had to be holding all 5 apples in his mouth at one time. That IS a heck of a lot of apple juice or applesauce and, I daresay, dribbling! Crab apples are a great answer as they are about the size of a plum.

Thanks So they wouldnt fit?
5 crabapples should fit all right. I guess the best way to describe them is that they are about the size of a golf ball.
ok
thought they might be crabapples, though i'm not sure how big those are. well... keep trying
I will.
good try spuds but i cant cut u to much slack my 1st was like 2.55 funnness! but i no ul make good ones!
Thanks im tryin harder on them.
Didn't ya read only post good comments.That wasn't really helpful and that was my first teaser so everybody just post good things to help me do better I know it is one of the suckiest teasers here but I dont need to repeatidly told your teaser sucks ok?
ahh spuds! it wasnt that bad! trust me ull get better, and to everyone whos all like "oh it sucked man" well u suck..he/she tried...give em a break ok?
Thank You.
A bit too easy.
Ok Im workin on makin my teasers harder.
Spuds, if you're gonna do these you should learn to take criticism, both positive and negative. Fact is, this teaser is bad because it has holes. I don't think your solution is right at all. It should follow some logical trail. Otherwise there can be a million answers, like saying the guy was a giant so he had a huge mouth, or saying that apples were genetically engineered to be 1/5 their normal size.
ok ill try.....but when I try fixing it the correction always get rejected I tried all the suggestions.
i dont even get advice for mine, so i call them eisels
Yep I know were related.
Yep I know were related.
i am going to try it on my friend and it's a good one!
Thank You
At least you can make one. I dont have enough points yet. A liitle weird, but I understand. Before you needed points to submit, all three of my teasers were rejected. Good job, good luck, and I hope to see more of your teasers.
Thanks Good luck on getting those points i'll be waiting to see one of your teasers
good trick
Thank you
it would have made more sence if you said he mashed it into apple sauce or something
Thats a lot of apple sauce.
Good teaser...just some advice, though: If someone posts a mean comment, ignore it. It's not that big of a deal if a few people don't like it. Just learn to not care what other people think. I mean, not completely, but if it's something negative...destructive criticism...ignore it. You have to take the good with the bad. And besides, it's just a matter of opinion.
P.S. You can't please everyone!!
I liked it!
Not bad at all for your first

Yea I know but it gets annoying after a while.
Yea I know but it gets annoying after a while.
nice..tricky but nice
Thanks
Crab Apples, Small Green apples, freeze dried apples, blended apples, take your pick...they all better than 'candy'.
It was my first teaser I like my answer any changes and it wouldn't be what I thought up.
My goodness! The trick to this teaser was once again in the wording. I have to admire the word setting of this one. Ingeniusly tricky.
Thanks
There are so many possibilities for that He could had pieces of 5 different apples in his mouth ect It doesnt accually say 5 full apples Not quite specific enough sorry
I was expecting something better than that
I was expecting something better than that
GOOD 1
Thanx....
thats not a apple.
But before walking off, Bob punched John in the jaw, fracturing it, thereby preventing John from ever eating solid foods again.
i said apple sauce yeah its not technically an apple but ok
I agree with jasmin oh well!
I agree with choptlivva.
It had to be a real apple. Oh well.
It had to be a real apple. Oh well.
I though he put a note reading "5 apples" in his mouth
