            An apple bob is a children’s party game where a bunch of apples are floating in a basin of water and you have to try to get one out only using your mouth.

            It’s really gross as all the kids are just slobbering over all these apples together. Terrible for germ spread.

            Anyway it’s not done with plums though, which are a kind of fruit and different from the word “plumb”, which means vertical. So it’s a play on words.
