Question: How is it that both Annie and Hallie both have the same hobbies (fencing and poker and) like the same foods, such as oreos and peanut butter? They were raised apart from each other.
Chosen answer: Technically or at least genetically they are the same person. Being identical twins they have the exact genetic makeup. Being a twin myself I can attest to the fact that some of your likes and dislikes are genetic. You are predeterminded to like certain hobbies and sports, let's say, and liking the same food has to do with the development of the tastebuds and that doesn't matter where you live or with whom.

Question: Why does Hallie put a piece of apple under Annie's ear?
Chosen answer: Three reasons. 1) She wanted to have something hard on the back of her ear so that she could pierce the lobe easily and have the needle enter the porous apple 2) the apple was cold and moist which would help the pain from the piercing 3) it was the most readily available thing to use for this since they were at a summer camp with no facilities for ear piercing.

Answer: Adding on to Boobra's answer, there have been real-life cases of twins who were adopted separately and never met during their childhood, but liked the same things and made similar choices. Jim Lewis and Jim Springer found each other at age 39. They liked the same beer, cigarettes, cars, both enjoyed woodworking, and married women with the same names.
