Which Apple Do You Prefer?


"Apple core" is a children's game and prank that was popular among schoolchildren in the United States in the middle of the 20th century.

The game proceeds as follows: a child finishes eating an apple, then displays the core for the other children to see. The child then says "apple core!"

One of the other children replies: "Nevermore" or "Say No More"

The first child then responds: "Who's your friend?"

And the second child responds with the name of another child in the group.

Upon hearing the name of the "friend", the first child then throws the apple core at the named child as he yells, "Not no more!"

The origin of the game, like many schoolyard games, is obscure.

I'd rather eat a green apple any day....Especially if it's an under-ripened golden delicious apple!  Woohoo for premature yellow apples!
