10 Pick-Up Lines From History That Wouldn't Work Today

2. "Would You Like A Bite Of My Sweaty Armpit Apple?"

In 19th century Austria, young women had a truly bizarre method of securing their boyfriends. Forget everything you know about how to tell someone you fancy them. I dare you to try this next time you go out clubbing. Before a social gathering, rural Austrian girls would place a slice of apple in their armpit. Yes, a slice of apple. In their armpit. At the end of the vigorous dancing session, they would offer the sweaty fruit to a young man of their choosing. If he felt the same way (and had a strong stomach) he would gobble down the warm, moist offering as confirmation of his affection. If that isn't true love, I don't know what is.
