them apples

In World War I, something called a Stokes gun fired mortars resembling apples with a stick in them, so they were often referred to as Toffee Apples.

In the movie Rio Bravo in 1959, a guy tosses a hand grenade and says "How do ya like them apples?"

Will: Do you like apples?
Clark: What?
Will: Do you like apples?
Clark: Yeah.
Will: Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?
