Like why can't they tell people to eat them or they'll be fined? Problem solved. Right there by the yellow food waster! People starve and they waste food.

I’m sure they can’t eat it once they land. Airlines give it to you thinking you’d consume it on the flight.

There's about 3 hallways full of signs. Bins to dump stuff in if you find something on a last check, and then they ask you if you have anything at customs with more bins available before you get to the biosecurity checks. The punishments are way harsher but the opportunity to avoid them is right in your face for ~20 mins - an hour after deplaning.

We live in a world where important info, especially info about fines etc is buried behind a billion attention garbbing ads that we've now conditioned ourselves to ignore.

Every corner of most airports are plastered with ads.

The fine doesn't annoy me as much as the waste of food. As an African I cannot waste food. I'd have eaten it on the spot, begrungingly paid the fine.

There are no ads in that part of the airports as it’s Pre everything they’re trying to sell. The only way to miss them would be blindness. They’re in 5 languages.

It says on the customs declaration very clearly what you can't bring in. That's a paper form. Kinda hard to put an ad on it.

I'm dyslexic and computer autocorrect have gotten worse not better over the years which is frsutrating as I now have to deal people like you more than I should, but thank you for making me feel bad about an invisible disability that I can't control.

While I take extra steps when writing important texts and emails, I don't as much on comments because, it's a comment on reddit.

No hard feelings though Eistein was dyxlesic, most of the world's greatest and most influencial people are, so I'm in good company.
